Drifting sands

A Sarah McLachlan oldie, "Song for a Winter's Night", just showed up on ITMS. I had this track once as a free download from Nettwerk's site but it's not there (though another track from the same album is there). One of things I wonder is, when the RIAA's thugs come calling, how will I justify having that track, once offered free but no longer so? I tend to store the download date & location in the 'Comments' area of the file, but what does that prove? Maybe this is one area where I actually need a DRM envelope to prove I have a legal right to use the contents?
