Pretty sure that many people would be led to believe that.

That, for me, was the main pull of buying on iTunes vs. streaming, because (not being in the US) I've been burned one too many times by streaming services pulling content because their license ran out. If iTunes might pull content I purchased at any time, that does make me rethink the whole thing.

- danpalmer 5y agoAs there's no physical degradation of a storage medium associated with a hosted service, I'd expect a service to be able to remain longer that a physical copy I purchase. If that doesn't happen that's down to the business interests of the seller and those are not something consumers typically have to account for when buying media.
