         | even better, buy drm-free stuff from the start, but if you

         | the best portability go ask a pirate, it's been the same since
         | 1600.

       | Content you purchased. Their wording. Not content you rented, not
       | license you paid for.
       | 
       | They are effectively stealing the content you purchased.
