Umm, no... Unlike Steam, you don't need iTunes in order to play your music. You can do what ever you want with the music files.

it's funny because they are not MP3's and most people don't care. Not us though.

Can somebody who uses iTunes explain something to me ? It's true that for a while now they have been selling DRM free music with a higher bitrate, right ? So, where does that limit of playing the music on 5 devices come from ? If the music doesn't have DRM.. er... it doesn't have DRM, right ? That 5 device limit only applies to the older files that still have DRM, right ?

Because you can have 5 devices on you iTunes account. It's the same with software downloaded from the App store (read OSX). Pay one price and put it on all your computers running 10.6.8 or above.

That's not the point.

Obviously, anyone can violate ELUA's and copyright law with near impunity.

However, Willis, and others, feel that these laws and agreements are unreasonable and shouldn't even be legally enforcible.

I still don't understand. If the current music tracks / albums being sold are DRM free, how can they be tied to an iTunes account ? That does not make sense. You mean that there is a service that lets you buy music cheaper but you are limited to 5 devices and another service that lets you buy slightly more expensive music, but DRM free ? DRM free should mean that you can play the tracks on whatever device you want, as long as it supports the file type.

Not all music is iTunes Plus currently, but even on the ones that are there is a tag embedded that identifies the originating account. You can still play them on anything, but the tag is there linking back to the account.
