An idea here, howbout an idependant agency, group, or company that can review software and issue something along the lines of a trustee mark linked to a certificate on their servers. True it could be abused, but if this sort of thing came standard people could have a lot more confidence using programs with the mark and a lot less without. Not seeing it could trigger thoughts like "Why doesn't this software have it? Is there something they're hiding?" Could give legit software a competitive edge.
"By convincing a victim to view an HTML document such as a web page or HTML email message, an attacker could execute script in a different security domain than the one containing the attacker's document."
So basically we're talking another e-mail attachment auto-execution exploit here. A whole new generation of viruses just got a way to spread minus a user's click. Thank goodness I use Mozilla mail.
And remember, never will music be released exclusively to iTunes. Anyone who wants to pirate music has cheaper alternatives elsewhere that don't even require this tool. The biggest use here is legit as far as I'm concerned. To heck with the concept that you only buy licenses to listen to data, certainly you don't have rights to redistribute but you at least own your instance.

Actually it's simpler than that. *reboots, chooses Red Hat in the menu* Ahhh, secureness.

Interesting indeed. A little Excel work shows that the average customer pays 35 cents over the reccomended price (or 8.35).
