Actually that's you. The iTunes database file isn't part of the DMCA...at least that's the argument put forth. The difference is you are on the side of the guys in suits with the big stick beating us all up. Big surprise the guys with the clubs are Apple and you agree with them.
"You see, Apple may have written the software that makes the iTunesDB possible, but it's the users who write the contents of the iTunesDB file. Apple doesn't. The database is the result of individual choices iPod owners make when deciding what music and other media to put on specific iPods." I've got my hip boots on so you can keep sreading that FUD you are slinging for Apple and the lawyers.
