That will teach people not to "buy" stuff you don't really own. Piracy o streaming are better solution. DRM is ethically and technologically bankrupt.

With Apple you have since many years now (10 years or so?) been able to download an unencrypted DRM-free copy of every audio track you ever bought in the iTunes Store. It's clearly to no consolation for OP, but it's worth pointing this fact out nevertheless.

To balance out your balance, with Apple, they recently chose to put government spyware on your devices (until public outcry caused them to delay/reconsider).
