I seem to recall a big flap some months ago where it was discovered that Apple was hiding specific identifiers in their hosted music tracks that allowed them to determine if the purchaser of the song shared it with someone else.

There is a metadata atom in iTunes Plus tracks that contains the name of the iTunes Store account the mp3 was downloaded from

I appreciate the clarification, thank you.  I'm delighted that I trusted my instincts and have never had anything to do with iTunes.

I don't get iTunes hate, but hey.
