one problem i've found with music is someone discovers an uncleared sample, and the album either becomes unavailable, or stays available with samples removed so its not actually the same album anymore.

Not a problem if you buy DRM free files, which most places offer. You're just responsible for storing them from the moment of purchase.

it is a problem. if you go to buy the album today, the updated versions already have the offending samples removed. the originally released CD does not have this problem.
