This, as well as vilifying emulation (despite admitting that legal emulation exists), patenting basic game mechanics, and cracking down on a charity, have shown me that Nintendo is just pure evil.

In addition to what else she said, (depending on the service) you can just download an actual music file and copy it onto as many drives as you like, almost like you own it or something. This is how video and games should work also, especially with regard to lack of exclusivity.
What are you talking about? I have had YouTube Music, Spotify and Deezer… none allow you to download music you can copy elsewhere.
YouTube Music allows you to dowload the song you uploaded to it (but you already owned all that so they are not giving you any favours) and the rest allow to download encrypted, DRM protected files which you can only play on their apps… certainly not copy them to as many drives as we like
You can buy DRM-free music files from various services including Bandcamp, Amazon, and iTunes.
As far as I know, the three you mentioned are streaming services only with no option for purchase.
Bandcamp, yes (I think)… Amazon or iTunes, no. There are guides on how to remove them but you are “pirating” as per their worthless rules
Yes, and streaming services is what I thought we were talking about
Music purchases are DRM-free on both services. The guides are referring to local downloads while subscribed to Amazon’s streaming service, which are DRM-protected as you’re only renting them.
