Or they could just scan the songs themselves. Why bother with hashing when you have full control? This is a red herring.
Since they have had the ability and incentive to stop music piracy that way for at least a decade, and haven't done it, that should tell you something.
ok but how do they know you haven't bought that content?
Gotta go deeper and scan the bank transactions going through your phone. Why not just watch your screen and build a model of everything you do. It's a slippery slope ... of extrapolation.

Sight Piracy as the reason, but get better conversion tracking for those sweet Ad clicks. We all know which companies would be drooling at the prospects of this.
Sadly this isn't hypothetical, Card companies have colluded with the data hoarders in the past for this exact purpose.

The idea is to force you to buy the same content in multiple platforms. Bought content would have DRM; anything stripped of DRM is presumably pirated content.
In the future, everything is streamed. You don't own the content.

DRM to the "rescue"
who says the government cannot come up with a twisted reasoning of mandatory compliance to serve the unique IP industry which is struggling in the face of harsh pandemic and more seriously the threat imposed by those egregious hackers and thiefs who steal and consume content without paying for it. How dare they! they are killing the entire artist community. or " in the face of unprecedented attacks on our domestic soil by foreign alien enemies, we are forced to implement a assailant monitoring programme which i assure you will not be used for any other purpose. the programme is going to be strictly for intended purposes only. That said, while partnering with the industry, we have realized the immense potential to build an inclusive and healthy competitive environment in the market and will help the industry leaders root out evil "
