How is this a surprise? How is anybody surprised? Why is this news?
Not a surprise, but still disgusting when we actually see it happen.
Exactly, it's not news. If you buy DRM-encoded media you don't own it. You are just leasing it on terms decided by the seller, which are subject to change at their whim.
Buy DRM-free or physical media and make your own copy.
Yup, 7digital deleted well over a thousand dollars worth of music from my account (no refund, no credit, no apology, no notice). I didn't lose it because the files themselves are DRM free and I have my own copies and backups of those copies.
I buy from Qobuz now but they could do the same thing ultimately.
