Happened to me with some music I had purchased some years ago - being the good consumer and buying the singles instead of getting them via P2P. The DRM was tied to my computer at the time of purchase/download. When I got a new computer after the HD on the old one died, I lost access to the music and the seller would not reauthorize to the new computer. Needless to say, I was PO'd.
After I lost those purchases, I made sure that I either bought non-DRM products, or stripped the DRM off to ensure that I would retain the ability to access what I had bought no matter what device I used.
