So basically the customers who trusted Yahoo! are screwed.

With regard to DRM, the only ones to trust are Apple as they are the ones who actually care about the customer and are actually fighting the recording companies to drop DRM altogether. I get the impression that if the Apple iTunes store ever goes out of business, they will not do so without giving their customers a key to unlock the DRM on all the songs they ever bought from them. But that's hypothetically speaking as Apple iTunes will likely not ever go out of business in our lifetimes.

I also like eMusic for getting digital music. They are reasonably priced and their MP3s are DRM-free.
