In both cases you can convert DRMed musik or ebook files to DRM free file.

You totally misunderstand. You said we should stop purchased eBooks with DRM until the publishers start selling them without DRM. And I said it won't work because you gave like 2 or so years for this to happen.
With music, I can purchase it DRM free and easily convert 100% legally.
With a lot of the eBooks I read, they do come infected with DRM and I have to strip the DRM and then convert. It's still a gray area as to the legality of this.
You say it's no big difference. Well, it is a huge difference for the average person. And the average person cannot vote with dollars for eBooks so easily because there is no alternative other then pBooks. With music, I can purchase the CD and not from iTunes. So with music, I have choices. With eBooks it's either buy or do without unless I'm going to purchase the pBook and then all that will happen is the publishers will think eBooks are not worth the bother.
