Ding Dong: Another DRM Is Dead… And With It All The Files You Thought You Bought
2nd November 2011
Every few months, it seems, we hear of another online content store dying or changing… and with it, out goes all the content that people thought they were “legitimately” buying, because the connected DRM server goes dead. It makes you wonder why anyone buys any DRM’d content at all, knowing that in a flash, it might all go away.
Which is why I never store stuff ‘in the cloud’, because when the sun comes out the clouds go away.

Apparently you don’t “buy” DRM-protected stuff, you only rent it until such time as someone chooses to take it away from you. 🙁
