After all, I'm pretty sure all the info for 'you already bought this, are you sure?" is kept on the server. I don't keep all my music on my iBook, most of it is on my iMac, but it will still warn me that I'd bought a song even if it doesn't reside in the library. I dunno about that Art.

I don't think that will prevent it. I imagine it is just to keep the same functionality on iTunes between the DRM/nonDRM tracks. For example, the warning alert that you are trying to buy a song that you have already purchased. There may be other times this info is utilized, but I don't think it has any hidden or nefarious purpose (contray to overly excitable articles in the UK tech links on MacSurfer...

I still have 20+ songs on my list that wouldn't DL and still won't. Yet other songs, some from the same album as songs that didn't work(I'm looking at you Pumpkins' Machina) DLed just fine while their 'album brothers' refuse again and again to download.

Come to think of it, hell probably wouldnt be swamped, would it.) I even bought a few albums as a thank you of sorts... all DRM-less.I was not surprised to see my prediction come true. (wish I'd published it somewhere, but alas) Anyway, my prediction was that in the files would be a "Purchased by" tag... and there are. So if you distribute it, they (the RIAA-tards) will know who did it. I'm waiting for someone to start screaming that the DRM free usic isn't really DRM free. Personally, I don't care, because I dont re-distribute, even before now, but I'll bet there will be some claiming it isn't truely DRM free because they know if you post it on the net.
