Digi Music

It is very pleasant to hear that Apple is also starting to sell DRM-free music but in fact Apple’s new DRM-free music still have a users full name and account embedded in them. It is still controversial that what kind of DRM-free music Apple is offering because it is reportedly said that Apple still embeds your account information as well as your e-mail information in all songs sold on the store that also includes DRM-free music. Earlier, no one could imagine sharing the DRM music. Now, consumers have got the right to share their tunes according to their will and that data can be tracked from person or persons who bought it and moreover it can also be misused by some miscreants over the internet. But now, the question arises what Apple will do with all this information? Though, there are various methods to determine who is sharing music but by tracking buyer’s info will put copyright holder in black list. It would be quite difficult for iTunes to track every song for the embedded data into it and on finding any user with a song from a different user it can alert Apple. But would this really solve the purpose, if not then what does Apple want to do with all this information in its database. Even if iTunes performs up to the expectations of Apple and alerts it about the song used by someone other than the user, then also Apple can do nothing because the media industry is already quite obsessed with the idea of media sharing among users. Moreover there are various torrents and P2P connections from where data can be accessed without paying for it. May be Apple has something in store to cater to that too. Image Via: Arstechnica
