No, it does not, but people here really like bringing it up.



I'm not usually a fan of slippery slope arguments but it's still worth asking: at what point do you decide it has truly become dangerously Orwellian and worth protesting against? Certainly it does strike me there's a certain disregard for consumers here. Imagine if your electronic copy of your favourite music that you listened to regularly was altered in some way by the publisher that you felt destroyed your enjoyment of it? It's actually one reason I'm not a fan of streaming services and only buy music I can keep copies of the files for - so I can be certain it will always be available in exactly the form I want it no matter what the publisher/ service provider does (including going broke or deciding to remove certain music from their catalogues etc.).
