Want an iPhone? Beware the iHandcuffs - New York Times
Want an iPhone? Beware the iHandcuffs - New York Times: "The only legal way around this built-in limitation [of music purchased at the iTunes store] is to strip out the copy protection by burning a CD with the tracks, then uploading the music back to the computer. If you’re willing to go to that trouble, you can play the music where and how you choose — the equivalent to rights that would have been granted automatically at the cash register if you had bought the same music on a CD in the first place."
Yes, but isn't this what most people do with their CD's anyway? So why is working around the iTunes limits such a burden?
