The 'file' is irrelevant, just as the paper and ink of a DTB is irrelevant in this issue.
Do what you want with the file. Do what you want with the paper.
But even in the DTB, read the copyright page. It give you LICENSE to do certain things with the IP content, just as your ebook LICENSE does.
You can burn the paper if you want, the paper is yours. But you can't transcribe the entire contents to your public web page. The content doesn't belong to you. Let's not be daft about this smokescreen distinction.

No, you are wrong. Just as in buying a paper book, I do not buy a license to use the book, I buy the book. It's the same with an ebook.
Copyright is a different matter and a law that protects both.
