That was a bit presumpuous on their part. It fed into one of my personal bugbears, which I mentioned recently - that the basic idea behind streaming and similar modern services is that you don't own or control the things you "buy", the company does. You think of your iTunes account as yours, and you think of the things in it that you've paid for as yours. Apple does not. As far as they're concerned your iTunes account is theirs, and they feel perfectly fine adding things to it. The really weird thing is that it cuts both ways - Apple won't let you delete things from your iTunes account either. Once purchased, that's it - you can hide it, but you can never delete it. Imagine a book shop that sold you a book and then insisted that you must keep it in your house forever afterwards, no matter what. "Oh, you can throw a towel over it so that you can't see it. But it always has to be there." Was unaware of that. I still buy physical copies of things I like/want and just stream to sample new stuff.
