I don't justify it - I don't like it at all.

However, given a choice between an ebook with encryption-based DRM, and no ebook at all, I'll take the ebook with DRM, thank you very much. Some publishers - regardless of how misguided they are in their belief - simply will not publish ebooks without DRM.
