@nostupidquestions When purchasing Music (£0.99 each) how many plays would you say made the purchase ‘worth it’?

    You don’t “buy” music. You buy a license to listen to that music for as long as the license issuer still owns that particular song.

    So never. Pirating music is the only path to ownership.

        Homie is literally talking about buying from Apple music. Take your high horse and blow it

          iTunes is one of those services that offer DRM free music.

          Usage rights for iTunes Store purchases All songs offered by the iTunes Store come without Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection.

          I’m definitely not an apple fanboy (I’m an android user) but Apple switched to DRM free a while ago.

      You don’t “buy” music. You buy a license to listen to that music for as long as the license issuer still owns that particular song.

      Unless dealing with the artist or studio directly the license issuer also won’t “own” the song but rather have a license to sell and distribute the title.
