Yeah, I just read this on the net and I must say that this hugely sucks cause I, for one, have purchased over the years lots of music from them and I read that if I wanna transfer these songs to other computer than the one I have right now after August 31, 2008, those songs will not successfully play.And I don't really intend to keep this computer for ever, c'mon I'm gonna change it some day.What am I supposed to do with all this music?

What am I supposed to do with all this music?
M$ provides a turn around for this on its website.

You can just record the audio stream playback with the relevant software (please windows guys, it's not my domain so give inputs, please). This way you get rid of the protection, though you will degrade further the audio material (second encoding). I advise you to make some trial/errors on a few fils and chose the less destroying format/bit-rate.

I'm sure there will be a class action, so watch out!

DRMs are evil…
