> no known digital music distributor has gone through the trouble of weaving personally identifying information into each track they sell, and if they did, it would be a much bigger deal than a few bootlegs getting uploaded into Google Music.
Err... Actually iTunes weaves your ID into files you buy and nobody seemed to notice evidently (so it wasn't a big deal).
- psychotik 15y agoAmazon does too. It's a music industry thing. See http://uits.umusic.com/faq.htm http://uits.umusic.com/faq.htm
- RexRollman 15y agoAmazon doesn't do that to all tracks, and they tell you when they do.
- ugh 15y agoMaybe he means watermarks? The stuff iTunes adds is just metadata. It’s easy to remove. I don’t think anyone could be outraged about that (Why the hell would anyone be?) but watermarks might well cause a different reaction.
- chrischen 15y agoIt might as well be a watermark. I don't think anyone removes it.
