This sounds made up.
I purchased a song on iTunes a long time ago, during the time that an Apple ID was required to unlock access to the file. I lost access to the associated email address and Apple ID password. I don’t want to steal a song that I morally own. How do I unlock the file without the Apple ID password?
DRM music in 2024?
Steal the song because you do own it and DRM is trying to steal it from you.
It’s like saying someone stole your bike and you don’t want to be immoral by stealing it back.
