The view that copyright holders can do anything they like stems from the view that a copyright is the same as physical property. Morally, at least in my view, copyrights are subject to the overriding purpose for which they are granted. When this is essentially making more books available I find it hard to construe as moral the withholding of such books.

Very nice post and summery. I would tend to quibble about the idea that ignoring the T&C on a click through is the same as lying, but all in all, not much to disagree with.
