Earlier quoted context omitted.

Apple and friends will do their best to avoid a ruling and laws which could establish this interpretation because it would end their practice to terminate accounts with the reason "Computer says no". When contracting with consumers these companies should be forced to be liable and accountable for their algorithmic decisions and arbitrary policy enforcement. That wouldn't be unreasonable at all. "They clicked the acce…

Especially because every so often we as consumers get an email saying “we made some updates to the EULA / ToS, here’s the full 50 pages document without any markup as to what actually changed, you are now bound by these new terms that aren’t exactly the ones you initially agreed to”

Seems crazy to me. Sure, all their content won't always be available to purchase. But once you've purchased something, how can that not always stay in your library?

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.
