"Music sold at Sony CONNECT may be downloaded on up to 5 PC's that are authorized at any given time. All music purchased may be re-downloaded at any given time."

So what does this mean to those who thought they had a easy way to recovery from a disaster? And how does this affect the DRM properties (proprietary formats and all of course) associated with this defunct endeavor?

I hope those who are thinking of the video downloads think about what happened to the Connect music store.

Uh dude, CONNECT is DEAD. Sony is phasing it out and it will be only a memory come March 08. Sony is pretty much ditching Connect, Sonicstage, and ATRAC (sony's DRM format) in favor of other formats and WMP11.
