A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

iTunes isn't much different from any of the "streamers". They still license media to you while reserving the right to withdraw it from you at any time, and stream it to you on-demand. The only thing that's different is the pricing model.
To be fair, it's the only platform that lets you download the media AFAIK, and you can use ViWizard to remove DRM from the files once you've downloaded them.
The article mentions that Plaza doesn’t like streaming services because she can’t figure them out. It has nothing to do with ideology.
How tf do you not understand how to navigate a Streaming Service?
