Hi, I don`t think any of the music is from the Apple Store... Aase :) If thats the law there, then thats the law there, and perhaps the music isnt from the Apple store at all, in which case any agreement with Apple would not exist... As for Tikkun Olam, its a term that has been used and abused

Well, another thing to consider is that any music downloaded off of iTunes Music Store won't be able to be accessed unless he keeps the former user's account. If the former owner is 'OK' with this then. But I doubt it. It's just sad that we even have to remind others of the obvious. I will

Yes indeed, you can change short names. Apple has a technical article for this, #106824. The MacAddict magazine, October '04 issue carried the same info. Also, there is something you can download from VersionTracker called ChangeShortName, but read the disclaimers first, something about
