a bitchy black day,at apple itunes DRM free cartoon download site.at a $1.30 each with ye name and e-mail address in each DRM free toon ye buy. if ye did not know ye info is also in any toon ye buy from the apple cartoon store from day-1,..keep buying those ipooood's so they can screw ye.... Apple hides account info in DRM-free music, too With great power comes great responsibility, and apparently with DRM-free music comes files embedded with identifying information. Such is the situation with Apple's new DRM-free music: songs sold without DRM still have a user's full name and account e-mail embedded in them, which means that dropping that new DRM-free song on your favorite P2P network could come back to bite you. Time to torrent DRM-free iTunes? p2pnet.net news:- Apple is now flogging EMI's DRM-free songs online at $1.30 each, so does that mean it's time to torrent? Apart from the fact that, thanks to the p2p networks, there's no need to go to the extreme, as TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog) observes: Sure, you can now download music from the iTunes store without DRM but that doesn't mean you should just willy nilly start sharing that music with your friends. For one thing, it's illegal. For another, your account information is embedded into that m4a music file. Want proof? For the technically adept, TUAW post also features a way for you to check it out for yourself.
