And about 100 people calling the OP a dirty thief for even asking the question.

MAYBE Amazon will prevent that sort of thing from ever happening to their customers. But I do know that if it DOES happen, 60% of MR will blame the victim for not DRM-stripping and backing up everything.
Somewhere on MR there is a thread of an Amazon customer who was in that situation.

The main reason I will never pay for DRM'ed media (I will get it DRM free or go without) outside of my video games, is that I detest when someone else has control over what is on my computer. Old geek habit.
