Since iTunes came out and Apple got into the music biz I've been

That's fine. Here in the UK we break the law every time we media
shift as encoding a CD onto our computer has always been illegal.
I'm just illustrating that "within legal guide lines" is meaningless
in terms of a modern state and even moreso when considering the
length and breadth of the Internet.
I don't dislike Apple. They have turned piracy into a legal business
model. If you despise their DRM then you have to put the dislike
where it is due - towards the record companies. I don't think or a
second that Apple insisted on DRM. They have just successfully
negotiated a market.
The addition of adding "Trusted Computing" to the kernel is
disturbing to say the least.

Why? Do you honestly think it will make a difference to your life?
Why not take it a step further? When Ubuntu gets the bugs out and
the GUI tuned I'd try it, and I'm a photographer not a computer
guy. Maybe a slightly above average mac user. Best.
I'm a geek. I've been using UNIX for longer than I've been using a
Mac. When Apple married the Mac to UNIX, it was like coming home.
Ubuntu is still a pain in the butt. Ugly too.
