This sounds made up.
I purchased a song on iTunes a long time ago, during the time that an Apple ID was required to unlock access to the file. I lost access to the associated email address and Apple ID password. I don’t want to steal a song that I morally own. How do I unlock the file without the Apple ID password?
Yeah, I had a de-gooogled android ROM that wouldn’t allow me to verify that I had in fact bought an app. So I just downloaded the unlocked apk and it just works.
