On: Privatunes Anonymizes iTunes Plus

Well, this code looks quite like the one I had on my blog and posted on another slashdot story a couple of days ago. http://vernard-luxe.blogspot.com/2007/06/blind-app les-itunes-user-information.html so this service should be as private as possible and therefore you should run it on your local device, rather tahn using an online service :-)

Just blind values !! no need to Convert to AAC/MP3

On: Apple's DRM Whack-a-Mole

I think they shall have told the users straight away. Thats the only problem I see in their approach. Maybe it was naive to think that putting them in in plain would not be noticed. But, I think it is good that they didnt put watermarks in ... geez who knows, might be interesting to compare the same song downloaded from two different iTunes accounts ... they should differ apart from the apID and the name. Has anyone tried this? Well, at least you can simply blind / overwrite the values using a simple Perl script, if you are concious about your privacy or that your iBook or iPod gets stolen. I described the process and put the script on my Blog at http://vernard-luxe.blogspot.com/2007/06/blind-app les-itunes-user-information.html I cant wait to see what Meta-Data the future has to offer.
