We're at the stage where owning media is a news-worthy concept. (and no, iTunes is not owning your media either, it's licensed, but how crazy would the headlines be if she bought physical media)
If you download it and crack the DRM you own that file, at least
Which in some jurisdictions is also illegal. So I might as well skip the "payment" part then.
Are there good DRM removal tools for iTunes? Googling for it gives the expected result, ie. pages and pages of scammy bullshit that I really don't have the energy to sort through
A good DRM removal tool would be to purchase the media wherever you like to feel morally good. After that you torrent the media so you can actually own a copy.
