I don't really want to reboot (in Target Disk Mode) every time I want to import a CD (that I own!) into iTunes.

In my case, although the 2 macs are networked, they are both in the same room, so I could use Target Disk Mode if I wanted, but I was really hoping for something more convenient (via screen sharing and optical disk sharing). Why does DRM allow me to import songs to a mac that has an optical drive built-in, but not to a mac that has been set up to share the other one's drive? Both are authorized in iTunes, so that should show that both are my macs. With the new Mac Pros (and MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs and Mac Minis) not having an optical drive, is this a way to force folks like me to buy an external optical drive that can be connected directly? I can do that, but among other things, it adds clutter.
