iTunes is one of those services that offer DRM free music.

Usage rights for iTunes Store purchases All songs offered by the iTunes Store come without Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection.

I'm definitely not an apple fanboy (I'm an android user) but Apple switched to DRM free a while ago.

I have young kids in school currently. At the open house, that's the very first thing they asked.

To be fair, lots of students mess with subs. It's possible the sub assumed the kids were fucking with them.

He was relevant there for a hot minute when he spoke out against Trump, but now he's doing whatever he can to get back in MAGA's good graces.

That's not how it would work for us. We'd receive a report from the MPAA/RIAA that showed the torrent they were downloading, the IP address involved, if they were seeding or leeching and an affidavit saying that all the information was correct to the best of their knowledge.

The letter we sent basically was a notification that we received that letter (with a copy) and that if we received two more for the same IP (three in total) we would have to release their information to the reporting body and that they could be open to legal action. It also included some information on how to secure their network and check for viruses in case that was the cause.

In my 15 years working there, we never once released information about a client. Because this was business accounts, most clients had multiple IPs (at least a /29) and would cycle what IPs they showed up as on the public Internet to keep them from getting multiple notices on the same IP. The music venue I mentioned had an entire /24.

I had to process these requests at a company I used to work for. They do send "proof" (proof in quotes because you have to believe in good faith they didn't just make it up, which I have to believe they didn't).

We never shut anyone off though. We worked with business exclusively and only ever sent "scary" letters. Though we had one client that was a major music venue (a very known venue that's pretty famous) who would get these letters all the time. The irony was too much for me. I ended up calling them personally most of the time because it was too funny.

People who made accounts before they start charging will be grandfathered in for free.

I don't think the party can kick him out at this point. He won the nomination and has all the votes. HE has to drop out.

They are the wrong one and died. The police came and arrested them for murder.

The problem is just going to court and saying "we have nothing to do with it" is both expensive and can end up with them going to trial. If they believe they have nothing to do with the incident, this is their easiest route.

Not trying to defend a big corp like Disney (they have plenty of money and can easily cover it), but I was just involved in a suite brought against me and in the end even though it would have been an "easy win" for us, it still would have cost us more money to fight it out in court than it was to just settle. And that's assuming the trial went our way which is never a guarantee.
