I'll let the evil corporate giant do the talking:
"As of August 31, 2008, we will no longer be able to support the retrieval of license keys for the songs you purchased from MSN Music or the authorization of additional computers. You will need to obtain a license key for each of your songs downloaded from MSN Music on any new computer, and you must do so before August 31, 2008. If you attempt to transfer your songs to additional computers after August 31, 2008, those songs will not successfully play."
In simple terms, if you get a new computer next year; all the tunes you bought from MSN Music won't play in it. "We will no longer be able to support..." sounds like "screw the consumer" to me.
"we will no longer be able..."
What? Have they lost the capability?
I smell class action.

DRM-Free is ahead of a lot of expectations. This time last year, many had no clue we'd see this many outlets drop DRM. So thats a good thing.
As for Microsoft, this is just another example of big brands fully catering to their consumers, right?
