And believe it or not, I don't feel guilty for it.

Whyever would you feel guilty about it? You were doing absolutely nothing wrong.

That's entirely your decision. I'm certainly not going to "pass judgment" on you. I would ask a question, though: if you consider FictionWise's terms to be unfair, why do you buy from them? Why not do business with someone whose terms you DO consider to be fair?
