    Many people (myself not included) would rather have nothing at all than something they don't like when it comes to their favorite TV shows / movies / etc.

    Because what comes after can be so bad, it destroys what came before.

    Yes its your opinion, and you admit it at the end. We can study the GIF specification as well, and people have been hiding information in them for years.
    I'm not saying they are, just that there aren't any proof they aren't.

    First, when you compile an EXE file with MS tools, it follows a format called the Portable Executable format[1]. You can verify this by opening up the EXE in a hex editor. There are a few headers, a few sections for code and data, and maybe a debug section. There isn't a section called ".backdoor" or ".spyonuser". By examining it very carefully, it might be possible to determine which version of Windows produced it and what compiler, but you aren't going to find your MAC address, name, street address, and favorite color anywhere.

    Except that is just your opinion, you haven't provided proof. Remember they used to embed unique ID's in word documents until the word got out.

    Capital punishment for worm writers!

    Capital punishment for lazy programmers - how many of them are bad? 90% ? How often do they NOT check return values to see if they actually allocated something, check bounds values to see if this piece of data actually can find in this buffer etc. The amount of shit that has happned because some idiot lame programmer didn't bother to check the size of his buffer is incredible.

    But you knew going in that iTunes only runs under MacOS and Windows. You knew that when you agreed to the EULA. You agreed to their conditions when you signed up.


    Don't be silly. Nobody agrees to any EULAs, its just some crap one has to click on. Nobody actually reads or agrees to it. And if you ask people you'll find that something like 99% have that attitude, question then is can you really have such a minority law.
