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?

    You can’t steal something you already own. Just download an unencrypted copy. There is nothing morally questionable about that.

      For what its worth to OP you might want to look at what laws apply in your area. Many countries may indeed be okay with you downloading a song you already own (as per transiet punk) BUT be against you breaking copyright protection (decrypting it).

      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.
