Putting legality aside, I don’t think comparing physical copies to digital should really be the goal. Physical books can last multiple lifetimes, digital media could last indefinitely.
All the limitations that are being put on ebooks (drm), are completely artificial. They are trying to make the digital books mimic physical books. All they are really doing is making the books less accessible, and locking users into ecosystems. It’s is really nuts.
