That sucks and all, but to be fair this is entirely on you. They sold you a DRM-Free file and you chose to not actually use it and to rely on their servers which you have no control over. This isn't a "DRM Free" issue.

Personal ownership means you take personal responsibility for it.

It fits the exact thing the comic shows. The comic said DRM free is the solution. I am showing that it is not immune to the same issues that DRM content has.

you chose to not actually use it

my hard drive broke. I had it downloaded and went to go redownload it
Also they advertise the app as streaming.

This isn't a "DRM Free" issue.

that's what I was pointing out, that BandCamp has the same issues.

Overall I agree though, it is kinda on me to not have my download backed up.

okay, so... back it up on 2 separate things then.

artists can choose to unpublish a song. that's their prerogative.

Every day that passes I think more and more that I should have a local backup copy of my whole GOG games collection.
