Yeah, this is nothing new. DRM systems are intermittently revoked, c'est la guerre. I have my doubts the Blackberry platform was a big hit for them anyway, so I doubt it's a massive inconvenience.

Same thing happens with apps on platforms. Good luck running something written for OS 9 on a new Mac.

Also, keep in mind the same thing happens in the analog world when a format becomes obsolete. I've got a few hundred records sitting around collecting dust, and owning them doesn't grant me access to the same content in a different format.
