Why can’t I burn Spotify songs to CD even I am the Spotify Premium subscriber?

Spotify premium plan has many attractive features than the free plan. Except for the higher sound quality and escape from the Ad, the offline listening feature may be the key reason for people paying monthly subscription fee. It is a pity that burning Spotify songs to CD is not available, even with premium account. Here is the quote of the official response from Spotify online forum:

“To clarify, there aren’t any usage limits with a paid account, you can listen as much as you like. And you can sync up to 3,333 songs to any supported mobile device without having to pay anything extra. It’s just when burning to a CD that you’d need to purchase the tracks. Since we couldn’t verify your subscription was still active when the tracks get burnt to a CD we wouldn’t be able to unsync them if you stopped paying.

Actually, the songs in Spotify are of DRM protected, that is why you can’t download Spotify songs to computer or make it playable via MP3 player, or burn them to CD like other songs you own.
