However, I believe that it was right for apple to sell DRM free tracks to the consumers. I'm a staunch opponent of pirates who sell mass productive music that's recently been put on the market. But I'm also a staunch opponent to those who locks up the material, so that consumers can't copy, edit, and import music into other forms of media, or even create their personal creations using various copyrighted materials, like say, I want to rip various caracters from various video games that I have, and create my own world and put characters in that world, and even put various caracters in this game. But This is the case of music. New technologies allow me to import ripped tracks from CDs and port them into a video game. Now, I think that EMI's decision to strip DRM and put them iTunes Plus is a very good step in the direction. Now, I hope that the Motion Picture Association of America could look at the trend, and decide to back off on the failed AACS and the BD+ trend and start selling DRM free HD movies so that people can do what ever they want when they purchase a movie. And I don't think that audio watermarks are going to work, because hackers are allready working on watermark strippers that are capable of hacking. Because, the rule is: If you can see it, you can copy it, no matter how strong the protection is. I think that the less our movies are crippled, the less restrictions we have on our media, the more the media will sell. And I believe that I should have rights to do whatever I want to do with music, movies and video, and video and computer games that I purchased. And Welcome to America! We are a country of freedom! I believe that freedom is valuable and is the regime that we rather live, because freedom creates not only peace, but new and enhanced civil societies, creations, inventions, and new frontiers.

It would honestly tickle me to no end to see Steve Jobs name and Steve Jobs@apple.com to replace all those those have purchased tracks with their ids on them. I also think it won't be long till malware has the ability to read that same info if it is stored on your computer to reap the emails from all customers for spam lists. It's just too promising a source in my mind not to be done. Thinking like a spammer for a minute, it's a near guaranteed source of positive, verified, 99% validated email addresses. Why would anyone but the narrow-minded copyright forces want that in a place to be harvested? It's a liberty I would not want taken with my private info and as such, it is a certainty I would not buy from people that do this sort of underhanded and sneaky way of doing business. Then, I've long had a problem with the media industries, so I guess that's nothing new. Well done to those that have developed a tool to remove your personal info from a commercial product that should never have been there in the first place.

The reason is because iTunes Plus tracks, especially when erased of personal information, can look look ordinary ripped tracks (iTunes can rip AAC in 256 kb/s). Selling these tracks could easily look like commercial infringement, considering both that the owner may have not necessarily deleted them from the computer and because the tracks can appear to be ripped tracks, which are illegal to sell without the original disc.

Unless we do it ourselves if it's demanded. We could't spend time on both versions without knowing if people would be interested. Cheers, and thanks for the story Jon! Guillaume Hi,
