You better not give copies to anyone who you do not trust not to share
them. I think that narrows my list to my household.

Songs sold by the Apple iTunes store without DRM still have a user's
full name and account e-mail embedded in them, reports Arstechnica.
After examining the files Arstechnica noticed their names and e-mail
addresses in the files, and they've found corroboration of the find at
TUAW, The Unofficial Apple Weblog. Since the entertainment industry is
obsessed with the idea of "casual piracy," or the occasional sharing
of content between friends it seems likely that this information will
be used to keep tabs on who buys what, and more importantly, where it
ends up. Although spoofing the data is trivial, shouldn't the idea
that your account name and email address are contained in the files
make you uneasy, to say the least?
