Something like this probably doesn't happen without some things being lost in translation between departments however I think it is entirely plausible that this was done on purpose to create a higher dependency on the service. All it takes is a higher up to say "If we have the song on our service assume every mp3 on the users machine is a cache and you are free to delete it."
- zepto 10y agoHow could it create a higher dependency if people didn't know they were going to lose their files?
- sintaxi 10y agobecause most people would just resubscribe after they see that their music no longer plays. Most people wouldn't go through the effort or even understand what happened.
- zepto 10y agoWe are talking about files they owned before they subscribed. Nobody would just resubscribe. In any case, you are accusing Apple of using a deliberately deceptive and destructive business practice to retain an insignificant number of users with a massive downside if discovered. It's both unprecedented and implausible.
