Trade-offs.
People bought ebooks over the years from independent online stores. Legitimate stores. They had DRM. They were guaranteed that they could re-download their ebooks, as their ebook readers changed.
Then the store went broke. Now those ebooks cannot be downloaded by anybody who bought them, due to DRM. An artificial loss, due to DRM only. Had those ebooks been bought without DRM, the owner (legitimate in both cases) would still have their books.
Does protecting the property you bought make you a "pirate"?
