With the launch of iTunes Plus, Apple's become the first to sell DRM-free music from a major label. Not included in the press release is the fact that all such downloads are watermarked, containing the user's full name and email address.

The only way it could ever be a privacy concern for the user is if they do something they shouldn't, such as share the file with others. If you think that DRM-free music is an excuse to start throwing it up by the gigabyte on Bittorrent, there could be public humiliation and, perhaps, a legal suprise or two in your future.

Perhaps by getting on the DRM-free bandwagon, Apple's managed to make itself the copyright entrapment-meister general.
