When we say that DRM might prevent you accessing your books in the future, this isn't just a theoretical possibility, it has happened several times in the past, and will probably happen again. But next time, many more people will be affected.
Don't forget when Paperback Digital went out of business and all the people who needed to update the DRM to add/change the Mobipocket PIDs was unable to do so. DRM bit them big time. When people change OS and/or change computers, the DRM like Mobipocket gets a new PID and the old PID is useless.
