Personal data found hidden in iTunes tracks

If anyone buys from the itunes store (of course cleaning the purchase after with

), you might be interested to know that personal data, including the name and e-mail addresses of purchasers, are embedded into the AAC files that Apple uses to distribute music tracks. It's also included in tracks sold under Apple’s iTunes Plus system, where music purchased is free from DRM.

The article is located at:http://business.timesonline.co.uk/to...**************

Let's all be surprised
