I think this is not so much a gripe about Apple's new chip, as it is the painfully fragile nature of maintaining access to anything digital made in closed formats.

We are, for good or ill, the first generations for whom more of our 'legacy' is digital, and as much as there's the idea that anything on the net is forever, the reality is that more is lost, perhaps forever, than is magically, infinitely available.
