It got rebranded to Xbox Music, but all the servers are still up and anyone who subscribed still has all their music. An earlier Microsoft DRM that was used by a bunch of services (PlaysForSure) was indeed shut down, but it's not the same thing as Zune.

Oh, I was thinking of the earlier one. I suppose it's often conflated with Zune, because of the spectacular flop of the Zune devices/rebranding thing.
