Thus, as we upgrade computers, the DRM books become useless as well.
I wonder if Sony and BN are going to do this as well?

Well, the way DRM works is that it is encrypted for a specific computer or set of computers. You can't just copy a DRM encrypted file to another computer and read it. It has to be re-encypted/DRM'd for that computer or device -- or has to have the DRM stripped from it. This is just one more reason DRM needs to be banned! And also why I support the ability to strip the drm off books for you own personal use (to backup, copy, etc.).
