Seems like people didn’t know. Legitimate users didn’t know, while experts did.
More seriously, what prevented an Apple user from uploading it on Torrents? Was it watermarked so Apple would find the culprit?
- scarface74 7y agoNo watermarking besides the standard AAC tags saying who the owner is. Steve Jobs argued for DRM free music as a means to interoperability instead of licensing FairPlay way back in 2007 in his “Thoughts on Music” post. He argued that most music was already DRM free and easily copied and only a small percentage of music on most iPods was bought from iTunes.

- nixpulvis 7y agoFair point. I was thinking more around the era of 2004.
