The owner of the ebook is the publisher.
They sell access *licenses* but retain ownership.
Read the terms of service/licensing agreements.

All you buy/own is the right to download/read the ebook as many times as you wish.
Most people find that is a good-enough proxy for actual ownership; others don't.

(And DRM doesn't factor into it--those are simply the terms of the transaction.)
