    Cancelling all existing subscriptions seems extremely hostile. Imagine if you were a happy customer and suddenly Google rips the service away from you. This looks really bad for Google. I’m sure it was a mistake to handle it this way and I’m sure they will fix this one off but it’s scary to know this can happen. Also I sure hope they restart the subscriptions. What a sticky situation they’ve caused. Imagine you are subscribed. Then you’re subscription is cancelled. Then it’s started again. We’re they notifying the customers? That’s gotta cause some churn.

    Devil's advocate: it's probably not due to the "download apple music" button and more to do with the tagline that came with it: "Millions of songs. All ad-free. New users can get upto 3 months free.".
