I-pod woes

Yeah, my mistake for being so stupid to believe that information would actually be useful to people.

Now, now. I think everyone here apreciates your efforts. I know I do.

Removing, or circumventing, any protection on software (such as Apple's DRM that protects iTunes tracks), is illegal under the DMCA.

Do what you will with this information, I'm taking my "DRM tirades" out of here, but not before pointing out that Beirut asked explicitly for information regarding the legality of doing what Don Corleone asked.

Thank you. I'm still trying to figure this out.

Well! I still have found no certain answer to any of this. Unresolved, seems to be the main word I see.

As far as my tree killing experience tells me, this document says "Thou may not!"

Unless someone can explain why and where it says "Though may!" or explains why this document is not relevant to what we're discussing, or can introduce some level of clarity to this, we will default to the Org.'s brutal Zero Tolerance policy towards piracy, that being that even the whiff of a sniff of a hint of a copyright infraction is a no-go.

Please, no discussion of copying techniques until this is resolved. Otherwise the thread will have to be closed.
