I didn't see anything on Audible's purchase conditions about needing to continue to have an active account with Audible. I'm sure the media player needs to check that your license is valid, but I too would be surprised if it's actually checking that you have an active account with Audible. Your Audible ready portable media players are obviously not all going to be able to do this. Your PC, laptop, netbook, ..., may not always have access to the network either. I'd assume you could still listen to your book or other Audible purchase though.
You are allowed to make one copy to a CD or other tangible media. You're also encouraged to back your purchases up. The purchase terms also say your license exists as long as you have a copy of the material, although there's some legalese wrapped around this statement.
