I believe this is justified because I realize that when I buy an e-book from Amazon, I’m really buying a license to that content, not the content itself. This is ridiculous, by the way. I feel as if e-book retailers are simply hiding behind that philosophy as a way to further support DRM and scare publishers away from considering a DRM-free world.

Exactly. I'm not interested in buying a license to read a book as long as Amazon remain in business and my account stays active. If I'm paying $10-15 for a book (which is more than I used to pay for paperback books I got to keep forever), then I'm stripping the DRM so I know I have them as long as I want them.
