The same here. I only "noticed" it a week or so ago, when 6 of my books on Fictionwise were marked as not able to be downloaded again after January.

I don't know how it works with other formats, but I can add 4 PID's with my books and re-download them. That's more than enough for me, especially as I am able to change those PID's on file. So, if I buy a new PC, which would cause my PC PID to change, I can update it and re-download the book I want. But, now I can't redownload 5 of those 6 books (1 has been replaced with a format I'm not familiar with and don't even have a reader for), I will be pragmatic and strip the DRM as soon as I won't be able to read those books on my devices anymore (as I do plan on buying another device this year).
