If this is true, you can create thousands of 1 second "songs" with different metadata and fill up your library really fast.

- SG- 11y agoIf you're paying for Apple Music you already get access to every single song in their catalog (like 40 million songs?) and can download them to your device. However it goes away once you stop paying your monthly fee. If you want a bunch of songs or albums you don't have it's just a matter of search for it and listening to it, and to hit the 'make songs available offline' button.
- ben1040 11y agoUnlike Match, Apple Music will DRM-wrap the downloaded files, so it doesn't really get you free music.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoTechnical difficulty of stripping the DRM? FairPlay was easy enough, I'm sure this wouldn't be much harder.
- eridius 11y agoIf you're going to intentionally commit copyright infringement, it's probably easier[1] to just pirate the music than it is to download it from Apple and strip the DRM, especially because downloading it from Apple requires having a paid Apple Music subscription. [1] Note: I do not in any way condone music piracy. I'm just pointing out that it's more practical than stripping DRM. But really the best thing to do here is to just pay for your music.

- toomuchtodo 11y agoI was merely questioning it from a technical perspective. I don't much care either way. People want digital content for free, publishers continue to rape the idea of works entering the public domain in a reasonable amount of time. Its hard to feel bad about either party.
