lifehacker.com— As you may be aware, iTunes only allows you to authorize 5 computers at a time. The Firblitz weblog has posted a method of authorizing as many computers as you want with your iTunes Music store account.

Ahh the English language and its' many flaws. Let's add some math symbols to clear things up a bit."If you follow this method, you won't be able to listen to (music you've purchased after) the authorization trick"Basically if I do this, then buy another song, that new song won't work, but the others all will.
Apple's employees and stockholders, last I checked, are of the people. So it's not really fair...If you don't like DRM'ed products don't buy them, and don't steal them.
I buy stuff on itunes all the time. Sometimes I go and download an MP3 version afterwards though. I already bought it, so I really don't see a problem with that. It's not like I'm out on the street giving out copies.
ipsophatso: yes... apparently you did. authorizing 5 computers with your itunes/apple ID is what you're legally entitled to as per your agreement with the iTunes music store terms of service contract. Downloading a song from the Music Store for $0.99 entitles you to play it on 5 authorized computers at a time... But this has nothing to do with other songs you've downloaded from limewire or ripped from the CD. lol..

I've actually spent $0.99 on iTunes, because I couldn't find Vigilante - Answers on any p2ps. It's the only song I've purchased in the past 4-5 years.
