Illegally downloading them sends all the wrong signals to publishers and only confirms the frequently-encountered view that DRM is required because there are so many people who break the law.

Well, your disappointment really wouldn't change the world. For publishers, it's really a matter of acknowledging the reality and take the most beneficial action. I'm personally not attached to this type of moral standards. Law often have ill effect for the society if you dig deeper into it.
