p2pnet - rss feed: 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.

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!

I can’ help but wonder how many accounts will be either killed or charged for lasses, if the files are found on the p2pnetwork.

Hell with the DRM junk that messes up the freedom to hear the music where ever and when ever you want. This is what he fools in the record industry should be doing from the start just encrypt the user account into the song file and if some fool wants to share it with the world they have the source of where it came from.

Yeah? And how long do you think it would take for people to realize WHAT is going on and simply STOP buying their product?
People are not as stupid as you may think!
