And it's because of those thieves that 4.01 happened. We need to direct 
our anger at the appropriate target (being, of course, the 
thieves)...this is not Apple's wish...this is necessary to keep the 
record labels on board for the iTunes music store.

Is library sharing more important than Apple's success with the music 
store? Were we able to share music libraries before Apple GAVE us that 
option? Don't forget who gave us iTunes/Rendezvous in the first 
place....and who intended for us to be able to share libraries. It 
doesn't sound like Apple is very happy with the situation either...but 
how else can they stop it before it gets out of hand?

Then there should be no problems. :¬)  It's good that Apple can trust 
you, and unfortunate that you're made to suffer the loss.

I personally don't care. I've shared librarys with a few friends 
(streaming...not actual "sharing"), and I really don't care that this 
has been pulled from iTunes...because I BUY my music as it is. I have 
what I like.
