Please read the quote of avih carefully:

similar/same technologies are applied for fair use situations is irrelevant. Please keep it on the legal side.

So at least you should delete all unDRMed files from subscription services after stopping using it!

You can learn about removing one-time playing licenses or any other licenses, but you shouldn't abuse music services. Otherwise no music artists will be supported for their work and these beautiful services will be closed eventually.

You should also read the T.O.S. of the service you use carefully. Most probably it will forbidden DRM removal. If it is do not violate the terms you accepted while signing up.

Generally speaking it is not a good idea to remove DRM protection music downloaded from music subscription services. You should remove copy-protection only from your purchased media files.
