@clacke I think experience and observation is the difference. When my nephew #Honshu was much younger, he was subscribed to an online music service. One month, my sister couldn't pay the Internet bill, and the service's local client very quickly shut off access to his downloaded music files when it could not check to see if he was allowed to listen.
Lesson learned: buy your music on CDs and rip them to put on your player devices. With no #DRM / #TUR, the files will work even without a subscription.
Likewise, I bought a version of the Sony #PSP for #sonTwo ... the one that used a digital download format for all games. In under a year, he'd lost access to all his games. I went to GameStop and bought a used PSP (the old style with the physical media) and he was able to play for years.
DRM == "Digital Rights Management", a euphemism for TUR. TUR == "Technical Use Restrictions". TUR is meant to restrict and prevent use except in limited and pre-approved circumstances.

Don't forget that not only are corporate sales *not* newsworthy, but among the many other reasons to hate them, Amazon is one of the worst peddlers of #DRM. Even on #PrimeDay.
