I don't get how companies think DRM helps protect their music, or will help their sales due to reduced piracy or something. After hearing things like this, it just makes people MORE inclined to download it illegally, so they don't have to put up with DRM. All it does is hurt the legitimate users, and doesn't affect the ones who do things illegal to begin with - which makes zero sense. Sorry to hear about your music. Hopefully you can get all of it cracked back on Windows (there's stuff for doing it). However, knowing the stupidity of DRM, if you need to use a different installation of Windows it will probably bitch at you and say "You copied this to another computer illegally!" and delete the file.
