Yes. After thrashing around in iTunes4 HELP, I came across the same
definitions. It does make one wonder how the limits are monitored
and enforced. I'm also curious about the method of controlling
re-import of tracks burned onto CDs in audio format. In any case,
these limits wouldn't interfere with my normal usage.
I guess they chose to control copies at the playlist level as that
corresponds to albums (as well as mixes). I'm surprised the limit is
as high (10) as it is. I does, however, discourage large-scale
commercial duplication.
Cheers!
