IMHO the best preparation available (in the context of an undergraduate degree) would simply be a solid program in Computer Science. There are lots of fundamentals to be learned... complexity theory, distributed systems, etc. Once you have a solid grounding in Computer Science you will still need to learn the hands-on material of network engineering ("What do I do with this Cisco thingy?") but you will be at a significant advantage. If you want to work on cutting-edge stuff an academic background is essential.
So basically Apple has said that it may or may not be legal to resell a song, but it would be technically difficult to do so, and it only cost 99 cents in the first place so why would you want to?
Thanks for not answering the question!
Maybe I do want to resell a song. Maybe I want to sell my entire iTunes music collection. Maybe I'm clever enough to overcome the technical difficulties. Would it be legal or wouldn't it? And if Apple established that it was, wouldn't I feel better about buying from the iTunes music store?
