I wonder why their license affects your local copy of a purchased product.

Imagine a supermarket losing the contract to sell Nescafé, so Nestlé comes into your house to take their coffee. Okay, Nestlé would totally do this anyway, but it’s bizarre.

As described, the Apple version is that they won't remove local copies you already have? They just can't facilitate copying a new instance to your device.

I still think this is crazy, mind.

Because it's not a purchased product. It's a sub-license of Apple's license for you to temporarily play a work.

  • Yes but this is not how it’s marketed. The button says purchase not license/Rent for a random period of time.
