So maybe you stop contributing here for a couple of days while you preserve your investment. If you choose to prioritize one over the other, that's not really the company's fault.

However, I have no problem with a company offering more time (and would applaud that). I was just suggesting an absolute minimum to get around things like people being on vacation or who had other commitments. Three months seems like enough time to handle this, even with other distractions. (It's enough for the government to require you to do estimated taxes. )

Well, one way is by watching the news. This story was on our local news, I think, and they were supposedly going to offer a solution (probably ripping, but I didn't see the actual story, just the teaser).

However, as was pointed out, if somebody changed their E-mail address and didn't update people with the new one, what is the company supposed to do? I assume you don't think they should run their DRM servers forever (or until they go out of business), right? I hope even the most ardent anti-DRM people agree that burden would be a bit onerous.
