iTunes DRM

Written by Teresa on October 13th, 2008

iTunes by far the biggest supplier of music files that play on iPods, iPhone etc.
But Music on Apple’s iTunes Store is commonly DRM protected.
DRM (digital rights management) software prevents owners from copying or freely using a digital file across multiple devices.
It only allows you to upload the files to a few iPods, burn them to a few CDs, and play them on a few computers. And you can only upload files to your iPods. If someone else’s iPod is set to play music from their account, the only way to put music from your account into their iPod is to re-set that iPod to your account (which requires erasing all the music in it). And if you want to get music DOWN from an iPod, then this is basically impossible.
