If I have a paper book that is falling apart and I want to photo copy it so that I can keep a paper copy of it, that is legit. If I have an e-book version that I remove the DRM so I can read it on a different reader, that is legit.
If my paper copy falls apart and I cannot photocopy it or it burns in a fire and I have not already photocopied it, I don't expect to get the book replaced for free. If I have an e-book and I do not strip the DRM or back up my books and they are lost, I should not expect to be able to replace them for free.
At least, that is my take on it.
