If you can document this, you should contact the EFF legal team and offer your testimony as someone harmed by DRM.

I'm not anti-copyright or pro-piracy in any way, but if I had lost everything I bought because of a DRM snafu, I'd have no ethical concerns torrenting new copies of the things I lost.

In fact, if Amazon upgrades their Kindle DRM so that it is no longer easily removed, I think I would probably torrent copies of things I buy just so I have an effective backup.
