With a A DRM protected file, you own really nothing else than the right to access to some content as long as some organization authorizes it, and only with the softwares they accept. And the copyright still applies to the content.
This isn't wrong, but as long as people are paying similar prices as pbooks, they're going to expect to be able to do the same things with their ebooks. So the publisher's pricing and the consumer's rights are out of whack.
