All music streaming services use DRM, out of necessity; it's a service of convenience. You don't buy the songs, you listen to a broadcast of them. Consumer ownership doesn't apply, and if you do want to buy DRM-free songs, Apple and many other digital music vendors will gladly sell them to you. That way you don't have to use Apple Music or any other encumbered service.
- shmerl 9y agoDRM has nothing to do with convenience or streaming. There are DRM-free services which provide convenience of streaming all the same (Bandcamp for example). You probably meant that DRM is related to renting (which again, is completely orthogonal to streaming, see above). I find the concept of digital renting to be weird in itself anyway, and the fact that it drags DRM along demonstrates it.
