Privatunes Anonymizes iTunes Plus

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday June 27, 2007 @01:39AM from the i-don't-know-if-anonymizes-is-a-word dept.

njondet writes "French-law.net reports that Ratatium.com, a French website specialized in technology news and software downloads, has just launched Privatunes, a free software that anonymizes DRM-free files bought on iTunes Plus. Last month's revelations that the DRM-free files sold by EMI on iTunes Plus came with user's full name and account e-mail embedded in them had raised serious privacy concerns. Ratatium.com explains (in French) that Privatunes is aimed at guaranteeing the privacy of users but also their rights as consumers to freely share and trade the songs they have purchased. However, the claim that this software is perfectly legal will surely be tested."

They'll also be able to figure out my Slashdot handle, because the damn thing has "Satanic Puppy" engraved on the back.

I have avoided that problem by engraving "Anonymous Coward" on mine.

That's weird. I engraved 'niceone (992278)' on mine.
