Controlling distribution channels is one of the ways the RIAA keeps it's power (and can artificially boost profits, like diamonds) and giving apple the power to release songs and sales across different markets just doesn't sound like something the RIAA would ever be willing to do. Not only that, but is apple even equipped to do on the fly currency transfers? (final notes: screw globalization, and nice CSS fanciness with the whiteshade. very nice.) i'm surprised that Apple promised international service at all.

We are in a globalized world. This is not possible. I understand they need to care abou fraud, but it must have a way to set this.

Port scan, monitor your traffic and processes, and inspect the XML that it pulls down. Convince yourself. Paranoia is just laziness in this case. There's no need to be paranoid. You're on a UNIX box.

I cant tell if Apple is being progressive or giving into music industry pressure too much. Call me paranoid but I think this upgrade could be a Trojan horse, inviting outside influences into my private music library. We will see.

Instead of having to search Amazon yourself, Clutter will do it for you (getting cover for the current playing tune, and also providing a quick search window). Then just copy and paste the album cover into iTunes (drag and drop isn't possible unfortunately). <a href="http://www.sprote.com/clutter/">http://www.sprote.com/clutter/</a> L.
