So I know this guy, who downloads music from iTunes and then removes the encryption using some software.
Well it turns out that one day, this guy wanted to play a purchased song on his roommate's computer because it's connected to the stereo. Usually this guy is diligant and removes the encryption after purchasing his music, but this time he just couldn't wait, so he went ahead and played the song.
Well it turns out that his roommate's computer had iTunes v6 installed. It also turns out, that once you play a song in iTunes v6, you can no longer purchase any music in iTunes v5.
Well it turns out that the software can't decrypt songs purchased with iTunes v6, so now this guy can no longer buy music and remove the encryption. He'll have to burn his music to CD first, and then rip it. Which is total bullshit.
Oh, and one more thing - now this guy has to download and install iTunes on his work and home computer and deal with a 32meg download and a slow-as-shit install just so he can play music he already purchased.
