Very interesting
Not sure how their DRM works. Let's say you've authorized your
computer, and even if they go under, your computer is still
authorized for the songs you've bought. What happens if you
buy a new computer, as obviously there will be no way to
authorize the new machine?

It's particularly a problem for companies selling songs with
varying levels of permissions (download, download and burn).
At the very least, if you paid for it at a store that lets you burn,
you'd still have a hard copy that could be re-ripped.
