No, you just fail to see the seriousness of this case. But seeing as you have vested interests in Apple (those 20,000 shares are talking aren't they?) I don't expect anything else.
I don't have any shares I own, no vested interes, hence I see things for what they are: intrusion of privacy and spyware. I'm sorry if it dissapoints you that I don't want Apple to know what, when, at what volume and how many times I listen to.

Different principles and all.
10,000 shares.
Hey, my interests have nothing to do with what I say here!
Nothing that I, or anyone else here, says will have even the slightest effect on the stock. You must know that.
Just because you have no shares doesn't make what you say any more realistic, or honest, than you're implying I am, with what I say.
I think it's serious only in that they failed to understand that todays atmosphere is so poisoned by the present administrations spying on us, and the cases like the sony rootkit, that customers, in a small number, as well as the publicity amounting from it, would be news.
This isn't anything they hid. As in articles in Ars and other places said, it was obvious as to what they were doing, because they couldn't offer the selections otherwise. And it could be turned off from the beginning.
So then, if you give Apple information it already has, plus just songs you are clicking on, you are worried that this is serious?
Once again, you are giving, not Apple, but a marketing company, information abot what you hear AND your Apple-ID that then again gives them a lot of other information about you, and that was without warning or asking you.
If iTunes sometimes sent your Apple-ID and at other times sent your song information the problem would be much smaller. Its the possibility of a linkage between the two that is serious.

Right now, while it is still confusing, there is evidence that while the music and book info does go there, the ID and possible cookie (which contains the ID), doesn't. That goes to Apple through the connections made to Akamai (Apple's server company).
We have to waite and see if anything else is seen, though ti doesn't seem as though there is anything else.

They should make it opt-in, rather than opt-out.
