Your daily reminder: if you don't own it, it's not yours.

The it in this case is your music library, and by own I mean have in your personal possession and not DRM'd.what point are you even trying to make here? we know we don't own the music. if you truly care about DRM issues, then you're not even on Spotify to begin with. DRM is not the problem with this post. this is specifically software locking previously free features for the sake of increasing shareholder value down the line. say what you will about that, but it does not have anything to do with DRM or ownership...
Nobody thinks they own music on Spotify. Or movies on Netflix.
