I certainly don't feel ashamed for defending others' rights. You are hurting publishers and authors by making/downloading illegal copies (you are asking everybody to work for free for your pleasure), if you are fine with that or don't see it that way, then there is no basis to continue this argument.
The only thing I can agree with you on is that usage rights are too restrictive. A buyer should have all the rights he or she has with a pbook. If publishers and authors didn't fear illegal copying they wouldn't use DRM (ineffective as it may be, in most cases). We can't stop technological development, easy copying of digital content will always be possible. But we can change users' attitudes, everybody must realize that unauthorized copying is wrong.
