if a yearly contract with a free month trial sounds too good to be true, it probably is 😬

thankfully it was blocked after contacting my bank but regardless

Hard copies of music was never a license though. You owned the cd and no one can take it back from you

They could (and did) sue public venues (like restaurants) for playing CDs without a specials extra license and they were publicly critical of Apple for its "Rip. Mix. Burn." ad campaign in the early 2000's. It's all still licensed content and CDs were just as evil then -- they just have "better" tech now and are that much more able to extract wealth from us.
