iTunes DRM-Free Files Contain Personal Info 693
r2k writes "Apple's iTunes Plus files are DRM-free, but sharing the files on P2P networks may be an extremely bad idea. A report published by CNet highlights the fact that the account information and email address of the iTunes account holder is hidden inside each and every DRM-free download. I checked, and I found I couldn't access the information using an ID3 tag editor, but using Notepad I found my email address stored inside the audio file itself."

As a member of the iTunes Police, I take strong exception to this. Firearms safety has always been a core tenet of iTP training. An iTP officer will only open fire if a copyright violation is in progress, or the officer has reasonable belief that lethal force is the only way to prevent a copyright violation.
iTunes Police would never "come crashing through a window with guns blazing". The very thought of it!

Also, last I checked, Steve Jobs didn't repeatedly smash your face into a MacBook keyboard whilst pointing a shotgun at your head with his free hand until you bought music from iTunes. If you don't want it, don't buy it.
Actually, Steve Jobs did repeatedly smash my face into a MacBook keyboard whilst pointing a shotgun at my head with his free hand until I bought music from iTunes, you insensitive clod.
Poor MacBook.

After THAT sort of treatment, did you really think we'd tell you anything?
The first rule of the Steve Jobs Beat Down is "don't talk about the beat down".

If you think $500 headphones are high quality, you're sorely mistaken. http://www.stax.co.jp/ [stax.co.jp] [stax.co.jp]
I only have one question regarding those $5,000 headphones: Can I get them with a white wire? ;)
