I'm quite sure that they are learning from their mistakes. Now they state this:

Please note: the Update service is a free service we offer our customers. We cannot guarantee a ‘lifetime’ service, but we strive to make the service available as long as possible. Customers are advised to always keep a copy of their files, as this service is not a ‘Cloud’ storage service.
Good enough for me. I assume they have also learned to make backups.

Other than that, I do think that the product they provide is well worth the money.
Some stuff is very hard to find in e-format, and if it can be found, it's often very badly formatted. The Delphi books are worth the money even if only two of all of the novels and stories in each omnibus are what you're after. Maybe it's still not perfect but it will be *much* better than a lot of the free stuff that's around.
