Hmmmm. Non-iTMS songs don't seem to have DRM. What happens is that the songs 
are in a *hidden* folder on the iPod hard disk, and you cannot connect the 
iPod to another user's iTunes (iPods have unique IDs and your iTunes knows 
yours) to get the songs the same way you downloaded them to the iPod. 

So to get to the songs without going through your own copy of iTunes you have 
to unhide the folder. It's (currently...) doable, but you have to know how, 
and it sounds like "circumvention" (DMCA/EUCD).

Does *this* interact with 4a? :-)
