why can i not burn apple music i purchased onto a cd?

I have purchased music from iTunes and I would like to burn the songs to a CD but it tells mne "Apple Music cannot be burned to a CD". Why and any ideas as to do this?

Apple Music subscription content is not purchased. The subscription gives you access to listen to content on your device, without buying the music. The music from Apple Music is protected so that it won’t allow burning to CD.

If instead you buy songs in the iTunes Store, then you could burn those songs to an Audio CD, if you wish.

If you try to burn a playlist with content from the iTunes Store and Apple Music, then you’ll have to remove the songs from the latter service first.
