Thing is...Microsoft is giving people months of notice. They also told people how to remove the DRM if they choose by burning & ripping. The only thing that this move does is provide an inconvenience to people. But its a much lesser inconvenience than when tapes went to cd, imo. The argument that if someone's computer crashes then they're SOL is pointless. You could own a CD and step on it and have the same problem.
The solution in BOTH cases is the same...make backups. Nothing is keeping people from backing up their music so I guess I fail to see the issue. The DRM isn't so draconian to prevent the music being used pretty much until someone deletes it by accident.
