And don't forget when Amazon sold eBooks before the Kindle. When Amazon stopped selling eBooks, nobody cou;d update them to get a fresh DRM when they changed the system drive and/or the computer.
DRM tied to your computer's hardware is a really bad idea. Especially back then when things were changing.
