Itunes

Here's a question: Steve Jobs decided that if you buy one of his 99 cents songs, you can only play those on five machines. Each machine has to be authorized by you.
What happens if you authorize five machines and all five crash and burn. While this could appear unlikely, it doesn't take much for this to happen. Your laptop or desktop could be stolen. You go to your parents house and authorize their computer which gets infected by a nasty virus. Over time, this stuff happens. So what do you do next?

I looked at the Apple website and there doesn't seem to be an answer.

I also looked at the terms of use (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/legal/terms.html), and no mention of that problem either.

I guess that means you are at their mercy if this happens. So maybe the M in DRM stands for Mercy...
