A worm in the Apple. Update your iTunes or no tunes for you!

As reported a few days ago, Apple made a sad attempt to block iPod owners from copying their music from their own iPods back to their own iTunes library with the release of iTunes 4.7.

Apple has now

taken things a step further. Not content to block unsavvy users from engaging in perfectly legal activities, they are now blocking users of older iTunes versions (4.2 and earlier) from being able to purchase or download anything from the iTunes Music Store.

I predict that within a week or two someone will have figured out how to circumvent this little inconvenience too!
