The Apple Chronicles

  
Apple released - with much fanfare - DRM-free music.  Ars technica is saying the files come "embedded with identifying information."  Sounds like a plausible anti-piracy measure . . . or it could be something more.  From ars technica:
I wouldn't be surprised if some data was being analyzed in aggregate, although Apple's current privacy policy does not appear to allow for this. As with the dust-up over the mini-store, Apple should clarify what this embedded data is used for.
As always, the key is disclosure.
