I was curious about how it all worked, so I decided to give in and buy one song. I could duplicate it and everything, and so I tried to convert it to mp3, just by changing the file extension. It seemed to work, but it can't possibly be this easy to get rid of all the protection and everything, though the file wasn't protected, unlike the AAC original. I opened it in Quicktime fine, so I tried to send it to someone else.
Apparently when I sent it, it was still m4p, but when I looked in the info of the file, it said it was an MP3 Audio, and it said that in the Finder and what not also.
Who knows, but this will be fun to mess around with..
