why do I have to purchase a monthly Membership to listen to songs I've already purchased?

I don't understand the purpose of buying a monthly membership to listen to music I have purchased already. I feel this is a rip off and another way just to get more money. Just following the new trend like everyone else.

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4.1, Music

have this same problem. I bought a new phone 6 plus and it would show my music there but wouldn't play it. As I tried to figure out how to get it playing I saw make avail offline. So I started doing that to all my music but then it says my membership is expired and I have to pay that. To hear songs I've bought in the past? I'm so close to leaving apple and I've been app since the first iPhone.
