Most users don't have any clue about how to store, manage, or safeguard their DRM-free digital purchases

They figured out how to care for records, cassettes, and videotapes. They just need an incentive to learn.

Define "care" for. Stuff them into a box in the basement? Caring for physical media is quite obvious and easy to research in 5 minutes. To care for digital goods you need a computer to store them on and make backups. Backups mean choosing a backup service. These all require accounts, passwords, and security. Backups require the Internet. How good is your Internet service. Where do I get DRM-free digital goods?
