I'm not sure why Zune keeps coming up as an example in these threads. It got rebranded to Xbox Music, but all the servers are still up and anyone who subscribed still has all their music.

An earlier Microsoft DRM that was used by a bunch of services (PlaysForSure) was indeed shut down, but it's not the same thing as Zune.

Oh, I was thinking of the earlier one. I suppose it's often conflated with Zune, because of the spectacular flop of the Zune devices/rebranding thing.
