Only on HN would you need to specify "active account" for such a clear cut analogy. Two replies and both are picking that nit.

Apple is admitting regardless of activity, studios can revoke their license to content, removing content from your active account

Threads with analogies are one of my favorite HN idiosyncrasies because they’re almost guaranteed to be followed up with something along the lines of “a better analogy would be $materiallySimilarAnalogy” or “that’s not a good analogy because $immaterialDetail”. Just an endearing quirk of HN users to have a tendency to be overly-precise, I think.
