Unless you strip the DRM, absolutely. In 50 years time, you will not be able to open those files. And that'll probably be true in 20 years time too.

And since I have spent over $7000 on ebooks, that's not something I want to happen, which is why I strip the DRM from any DRMed ebook I buy, and why I won't buy DRM ebooks from which the DRM can't be stripped.
