Software doesn't break the copy protection found on iTunes' AAC audio files, but simply allows downloading other types of music, such as P2P-downloaded MP3s, that other iTunes users have in their shared playlists.
"I would like to think they would go after those infringing copyrights and not those abiding by them," Zeller says. "However, although MyTunes can be used for legal ends, I understand how [Apple and/or the RIAA] might have a problem with the software. I would like to think the responsibility to act in accordance with the law is on the user. Authors of software should not have to babysit the user in order to ensure legal compliance."
