This doesn't make sense. First off, when I buy a CD at walmart, the maker of the CD doesn't get my email address. So iTunes is no different in that regard than any other retailer. When it comes to apps, you do have a relationship with the customer, via the App. you can communicate with the customer within the app, via push notifications, or you can ask them for an email address as part of a registration process. You have many choices in this regard.
