Apple Music uses DRM to restrict where and how the music streaming service can be used. You can only play and download songs on devices that support iTunes or the Music app. When you download songs from Apple Music, you can only play them on that device.
Apple Music does not intend for you to keep these tracks after you stop subscribing, nor does it intend to share them with others who are not subscribed. Therefore, the player checks DRM to make sure you have the right to listen to downloaded songs according to the license agreement.
If you try to play the track on a different device or after your subscription has expired, your file will not pass the DRM test and will not play, usually displaying an error message. To remove these limitations and play Apple Music songs anywhere you want, you need to remove Apple Music DRM.
FairPlay is a digital rights management (DRM) technology developed by Apple Inc. It was used until April 2009 by the company to protect copyrighted works sold through iTunes Store, allowing only authorized devices to play the content. In 2015, Apple launched the music streaming service - Apple Music, also with DRM protection to all songs in the catalog.
It depends on the purpose. If someone removed DRM from Apple Music for some commercial purposes, them this move is absolutely illegal. If someone subscribed to the service, he can convert the songs into other formats for personal usage. In this way, it is legal.
