No, I agree. There are two issues-DRM, and cloud computing.
I think my concern is how cloud-computing is being *used* as another form of DRM-by basically letting someone else hold onto my purchased content for me to use whenever I want.
But, I'll stipulate that I'm old-fashioned that way-I never wanted to use subscription music services like Microsoft's Plays for Sure, or Yahoo Music, or even Spotify, which sounds nifty.
