If you use iTunes, and "add to library," like I do, you'll see how often albums get removed or replaced or remixed. It's unnecessary and unnerving. The labels are constantly faffing about with albums. Every couple of months, I'll go to play an album, and find that it only has, say, 2 songs in it. Sometimes I can go back and re-add it to my library, sometimes, there's a new "remastered" copy, and sometimes those songs are just no longer available in iTunes. I pay for the subscription, and don't buy music. And I'm glad. I don't know why these changes wouldn't happen to me even if I had paid for it, but maybe that would be exempted? If someone can tell me that this doesn't happen if I buy the album, I would snatch up some of my favorites right away.
I have "purchased" movies from Amazon, movies for which Amazon later lost streaming rights, and which are no longer in their catalogue - and so my "purchase" was temporary. I am sure their EULA expressly permits this but it's irrelevant now as I have learned my lesson. I now longer "purchase" digital products unless I can download them after purchase. When this first occurred, I was angry. Now, I just consider myself educated to avoid Amazon at all cost.
