What happens when the company goes out of business????? Computers "die" or suffer other maladies that require a rebuild of the system. If the company behind the DRM software goes out of business, I assume the software user will be left with a useless product and possibley suffer a significant loss in both data and money. To be even more paranoid. What happens if the vendor introduces a new version and does not want to "support" the old DRM software???????
