Lets say that a ruling that entitles consumers for the same right for digital book "services" as for physical would have been preferable.

The ruling doesn't say anything about rights, just the type of VAT to be applied
Yes. But ruling in the opposite direction could be used as precedent for vendors to loosen the DRM licence crap.
No this is the ruling that could be used as precedent for vendors to loosen the DRM license crap. If they want lower VAT for their products, they need to make e-books more like a good and less like a service.
No, it really couldn't. How something is taxed has little/nothing to do with what it actually is - tax people don't talk to copyright people.
I can't understand how can it be done.
