I Thought,Apple.Removed this DRM Protection?From About 2009?

That's only for iTunes tracks that you purchase in the iTunes store.


Apple Music tracks have always been DRM protected. That is why it is unlimited usage for a flat fee per month.


You do not have the legal right to convert Apple Music tracks regardless of how you feel about that.

Apple does not profit from your costs to download. If you pay to subscribe to Apple Music, you can store your music in the cloud for streaming to your devices. That requires ongoing data costs.
