...if Apple starts having ridiculous policies, there's a way around it.

Since Jam is there to create red-book Audio CDs, the compressed audio needs to be decompressed for burning anyway. At that point, where the f*ck is the difference between burning a CD from iTunes and then re-ripping it for use in Jam and using the tune directly in JAM?
The difference is NONE, unless Apple does additional audio quality degradation when burning red-book audio CDs from iTunes Music Store contents with the iTunes CD burning feature without telling anyone.
The whole thing's a joke. It's like insisting that the gate in the fence be locked, while the fence only covers one of four sides of a square garden and the fence is low enough to jump over even on crutches...

Big deal, all it costs is our valuable time, but it won't prevent what it's trying to prevent, which is the exercise of fait-use personal copying and mixing with an application that has more features than the limited Joe-Sixpack iTunes.

Of course, I still prefer WaveBurner over Jam for some things, but that's a different story. Apple's and RIAA's lawyers need a good whack on their fingers and butts.

Heck, why even install the cripple upgrade?
