New Apple iTunes software has drawn some flack this week.
The new software has the nifty little feature of sending computer user’s play lists back to Apple.
Of course this is then used to suggest new music the user might like via recommended links - the catcher being that the recommended music is stuff that the user hasn’t yet purchased.
Along with the predictable data of artist, song, genre type information, the software also sends a unique user ID of the music fan.
Then of course, that user ID could possibly be linked to the email and credit card details of the person as most people use this information to purchase songs in the first place.
What could possibly go wrong with this scenario?
