Ya know, I'd be the first to write a program to strip that data, but I dislike iTunes software sooo much, that I won't put it on any of my machines to download a song.
I'm not a big believer in file sharing, other than playing it on the stereo for your friends, but putting peoples personal info in a song, is kinda beyond that imaginary red line in my head...
If anyone has one, send it to me (no, I don't want to steal their music, I probably already have it). Would like to take a look at the file format though.

I agree with you, people will eventually get into trouble when somebody is able to get personal information from iTunes.
Yes trying to control piracy is a great idea, but at what personal cost is this necessary?
As it has been talked about before, people use crack versions of software and want to get help from people who have paid for it. Now, something I do for my own personal use is make MP3 cd's for my car. I never listen to the damn radio and it's great to have a ton of hours of music loaded into my CD changer in the trunk of my cars (I've installed the same CD changer in my SUV's so I just have to remove the cartridge from one and put it in another).
People around me consider me an A++hole because I won't make CD's or tapes for them but if I made the investment to have the music I own, why should somebody get it for free.
There has to be another way to cut down the piracy numbers and make people act responsibly and legally without having to encode your personal info on every audio file you get.
So if I purchased several of these songs from itunes and burned them onto a cd to listen to in my truck,what would happen if someone broke into my vehicle,stole my cd and ripped it into a mp3 and used it on fileshare site?
Would my personal info be encoded into these mp3's and would I be liable?

That's what would worry me. But even if you have them safe at home in your computer or whatever, somebody breaks in and steals them, you're also in deep doo doo.
This article is a bunch of bull. If your legally downloading the files in the first place than you shouldn't be illegally sharing them. So no one gets those files with your "personal information" but you. Its crap like this that drives people away. We finally get a good legal way to get DRM free music and now everyones scared that they're giving away their social security number by downloading 'Toxic'.
Tim,
We're not talking about sharing our files. As it has been stated we have paid for all of our music and do not share it. All the files in my computer have an original CD, LP, Single or cassette. I don't use iTunes, Napster, etc. and since I'm not in the business all my music has been bought at stores, no subscriptions.
The MP3's in my cars are for my personal use and nobody gets a copy of any file. What we're trying to make a point is about the implications if some of our property is stolen whether it's from our car, our house, our iPod, etc. If a file I purchased that has my
personal information and it's obtained by somebody else through theft, what will the legal implications be for me.
This can lead to a ton of misunderstanding or law suits even if you are a law abiding citizen. It doesn't matter if everything you've done is legal. You will be bunched up with the criminals.
That's the point we're trying to make, we're not talking SS numbers, we're just talking about our personal information and privacy.
