See Boing Boing 9/26/08:
Beginning October 9, we [Wal-Mart] will no longer be able to assist with digital rights management issues for protected WMA files purchased from Walmart.com. If you do not back up your files before this date, you will no longer be able to transfer your songs to other computers or access your songs after changing or reinstalling your operating system or in the event of a system crash. Your music and video collections will still play on the originally authorized computer.Nothing lasts forever but the earth & sky...
Don't count on it...
Update: Wal-Mart has a change of heart and reinstates their DRM servers "for the present time."
