If it is one thing I've learned these couple of last years is that no business is permanent. Who would ten years ago expect GM to go belly up? So, yes, I think it is a very valid point you make. At the same time I feel confident - without any actual backing - that the people who constructed the Amazon DRM will offer it to the public domain should Amazon file for Chapter 11.
