Same here. There is a legal doctrine which says that there must be injury for something to be actionable, or in basketball terms, no harm, no foul. If I buy a book in the UK that I can't buy in the US, then no one is harmed. That's true of either paper book or ebook. If I buy an ebook, then remove the DRM so I can back up my copy and read it on a different device, no one is harmed.
