The civil rights movement in the USA is widely held to have started by black people choosing not to ride buses, not by any illegal act.
As you say, choosing not to buy DRM books would be one way of protesting and beginning a revolution against such schemes without committing any illegal act. Of course that would have the by product of the person choosing not to buy being without the book so it is little wonder that choice is rarely made.
