Hope no-one's been sharing ITunes+ files.....

They've got your name and address embedded in them....

 

Apple launched its iTunes Plus DRM-free downloads yesterday, but the company is already being criticised for the way that whenever you buy one of the iTunes Plus songs, your name and email address is embedded in its tags.

 

It's true, too. I bought an iTunes Plus album by Digitalism yesterday, and when I checked the track info, it's got my name, email address and the date/time of purchase. Music biz blogger Bob Lefsetz has slammed the policy:

 

"EMI hasn?t given up on copy protection, they?ve just instituted a NEW ONE!," he writes. "Wherein they can trace your track if you choose to do anything untoward with it. Yup, if it?s your track that?s being traded P2P, you?re f***ED!"
