i finally got around to reading the nytimes article about how apple restricted use of its rendezvous sharing feature in the new version of itunes because some hackers had figured out how to download the music instead of just streaming it. i think this places apple in a bad precedent of "fixing" its software whenever a new "hack" is discovered, and a new hack will always be discovered! it places itunes in the same category as security patches -- but this time the patch is not to protect the consumer of the software, which i think is a first.
