The BBC reports that Apple is getting in a little hot water with the launch of their new DRM-Free tracks on iTunes.

DRM stands for Digital Rights Management, and refers to the technology which prevents you from copying songs bought on iTunes to a large number of your friend's iPods.

Apple recently announced they are removing DRM from songs provided from record label EMI. What Apple forgot to mention in their initial press release was that in place of the digital rights management, they would associate your personal information with each downloaded music file.

So its now easier than ever to share your iTunes-purchased music with friends - it's also much more likely you'll get caught for doing so.
