The surprise/anger comes because they don't exactly advertise this
particular limitation, and it's not an obvious extension of anything in
the DRM. In fact, it only existed since iTunes 4.6. Previously, I was
able to burn my purchased music onto an MP3 CD. They (Apple) are very
open about the keys (tracking ownership, 5 max computers, etc). But
they completely bury the fact that you cannot burn iTunes purchased
music onto an MP3 CD. On the contrary, visit <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/burn/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.apple.com/itunes/burn/</a> and check out the double-speak for yourself. Here's my favorite quote:

up new tracks with your existing MP3 collection to make killer
compilations. You can burn songs from the iTunes Music Store an
unlimited number of times."</font></div></blockquote><div><br>

Well said Douglas! I agree with you 100%. The Supreme Court has ruled
on fair use and affirmed we have the right to make a private copy.
These copy protections are illegal. I hope a case will be brought
before the Court on this matter soon.<br>
