I have never liked the term 'buy' on anything with DRM. This isn't really an Apple problem so much as an industry problem. I think 'license' would be a better term.

When it comes to Apple specifically, they really need to let iOS users know that they need to back up DRMed movies, shows, and books. I know some iOS-only users who are under the impression that they will forever be able to redownload these items. In reality, there is no of guarantee of that, as Apple may might not hold distribution rights at some point in the future.
