I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.

Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

    Bandcamp is DRM-free, so whatever you buy there, you truly own it. Unlike on most other platforms.

        Wow, you are right! I was confused about iTunes, because it seems to require an app, but it is DRM-free and so is Amazon Music. That’s great! So I guess only Spotify has DRM.

          All the streaming services use DRM, it’s just download stores that are DRM-free. Which makes sense, when you buy an album, you should own it.

            I see, that makes sense. But I also think that every content that you have paid to access should be DRM-free, so even in a streaming service.
