    You don’t “buy” music. You buy a license to listen to that music for as long as the license issuer still owns that particular song.

    So never. Pirating music is the only path to ownership.

          iTunes is one of those services that offer DRM free music.

          Usage rights for iTunes Store purchases All songs offered by the iTunes Store come without Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection.

          I’m definitely not an apple fanboy (I’m an android user) but Apple switched to DRM free a while ago.

      Unless dealing with the artist or studio directly the license issuer also won’t “own” the song but rather have a license to sell and distribute the title.
