They charge you for LOSSY music and then don't even give you a chance to get it back if you lose your data.
Is there an online music store that does? That strikes me as the equivalent of buying a CD, having it stolen out of your car, and than asking the retailer to give you another one. You shouldn't be reformatting that often to begin with, and certainly not without doing backups of your data, so I don't see why it's Apple's liability to cover you if you encounter a problem. I reformatted my PowerBook recently and copied over a backup of my music back over, iTMS tracks included, and had no problems whatsoever.
iTunes isn't a crime, it's actually the best online music store I've seen; though I'm still disappointed by online offerings on the whole, primarily with respect to a lack of audio quality options and the DRM fiasco.
