    I have thousands of dollars of purchases over the years from the iTunes Store, please don’t let this be my future….

      This is the eventual future of all digital services around TV, music, and film. All these licensing contracts have an end date

        Fortunately not music, all my purchases are available for drm free download and I keep my own backups. Really hate that video isn’t treated the same way.

            A lot of my library’s history is from iTunes, but most things I’ve gotten in the last 5 or so years I’ve tried to get from Bandcamp, and then Beatport if I need lossless and iTunes if I can do without.
