If I download my CC'd music via iTunes to my iPod, it will add DRM to lock
the tune to that iPod. This seems to breach the part of 4a that says:
"You may not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
digitally perform the Work with any technological measures that control
access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this
License Agreement."
Is this the case? Or does this kind of "terminal" transfer to a single device
not count as distribution? What if I want to take the tune off of my iPod
(which doubles as a FireWrire drive) and give it to a friend? Does it break
4a then?
If it is, this is important as the iPod is a big market for downloaded music,
and will probably be the model for other such devices. Either Apple should
modify iTunes to respect CC metadata, or CC (as a last resort) should modify
the license to allow this kind of "terminal" DRM.
