Those who think that concern about losing access to DRMed media is paranoia should check out the Obsolescence section of the Wikipedia article on DRM.

It lists nine instances in the past seven years where people have lost access to DRMed ebooks because providers either went out of business or decided to stop supporting a particular DRM system.

It also lists several instances of loss of DRMed music and video.

It's not paranoia to think that it'll happen again.
