you have to plug your mp3 player into your computer everyso often.

You are not buying the music but the right to listen to the music. ;)

They have DRM That says you have to plug in every so often or else the music expires.

oh ok. i dont really understand DRM but there is some kind of coding in the mp3 file it self that renders it useless after a while?
