Does iTunes invade your privacy?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Downloading a tune from Apple’s iTunes puts your privacy at risk if this article from the London Times is correct.
It says that, hidden in the data file that contains the music, are your e-mail address and other personal information. If that’s true, the notion behind it is pretty simple.
If you share the music that you download with others, there would be a way to trace the transaction back to you.
The Electronic Freedom Foundation is responsible for the discovery of the hidden information.
