This led to a lot of good discussion around various places to buy digital music. My comment wasn't so much drm focused as it was about licenses being removed. I've encountered that on Qobuz actually. Not many, but a few items are no longer available to be downloaded. I have already downloaded the files when I purchased the music, so that's certainly something different than a movie or game that can't be downloaded and used as such. That's all, just the fact that the license can still be removed.
Ah, didn't expect you to already know qobuz ๐
But yeah, that's definitely a problem. I remember them sending the email where they announced this could happen now (although weirdly enough, they never sent an email for when purchased items were taken down any time after that again), and had it happen a few times as well. Luckily, I've also saved everything locally, so I haven't lost anything. Still annoying. Also sometimes, an album that's suddenly gone just seems to reappear a few months later, as if they were just reorganizing their library, but really, I have no idea what's going on.
That's good to hear some items have returned. I also wonder about things like relistings, if items have or will get moved around. Good discussion!
