Very, very wrong in so many ways. DRM has nothing to do with copyright—Baen and Tor sell their ebooks without DRM but the copyright is not removed. Downloading a copyright electronic edition without entitlement is piracy.

As for entitlement to a 'free" digital copy? Would you consider that owning a hardcover edition of a book entitled you to walk into a bookstore and walk out with the paperback without having to pay for it? After all, you already own the book.

At times, I think the Internet Archive might consider changing their logo to include a skull and crossbones.
