Frankly, this is why I always ignored Spotify and other streaming services and keep a jolly roger above my head.

If you had pirated or ripped those mixes off Spotify, you'd still have them. And you probably paid enough months of subscription to feel okay with that.

Thanks for the comic link and enjoy the riff off the book title “steal this book”.

Just looked into deleting my Spotify account through the app and appears that’s not an (obvious?) option. Ugh

The comic does not make sense for iTunes, since if you buy music from Apple, you get the non DRM file that is yours to use however you want.

It’s xkcd number 488, it was probably made when iTunes was still selling or just after it stopped selling DRM music.

Good point, the comic was published Oct 2008 according to xkcd and Apple stopped selling DRM music in Jan 2009.
