Apple spies on iTunes listeners

13 January 2006

The latest update to Apple's iTunes music management and playback software incorporates a feature that sends Apple details on the music on your computer. The ministore suggests other music you might like to buy when you select tracks on your computer, even if they've been ripped from CD. Apple insists it deletes information on a user's music after making the recommendation, but some bloggers have criticised
Apple's abuse of its own privacy policy.
