[iTunes] More about "Fairplay" DRM

[Peter Tattersall]

As far as DRM is concerned, what happens as you upgrade systems and 
migrate your files? I trade in my laptop every couple of years or so, 
backing up the stuff I want to keep before the trade, then restoring 
afterward. So far that's been straightforward except for registered 
software which is sometimes tied to the computer it was originally 
installed on - I've usually been able to fix that with a support call, 
but there have been problems. Am I going to have problems down the 
line, say after three transfers? De-authorizing and re-authorizing may 
be relatively simple, but is that on a file basis, or on the entire 
computer, or what? If at the file level only, can I do it on a mass 
basis (Applescript?) as these kind of transfers will probably require?
