How does it make it "legal"? All it does is let you enjoy the benefits of iCloud with your pirated music. It doesn't suddenly make it legal if the FBI busts down your door or if you get sued by the RIAA.

But from what I understand you can upload your (pirated) music to to the cloud, iTunes Match scans the music you music uploaded and allows you to download it (iTunes Store version?) as a 256kbps AAC file for $25 a year. The downloaded 256kbps AAC album would be legal in this case, correct?

The lack of Facebook integration, but major Twitter integration, in iOS, is very disappointing. Today has reinforced my belief that investing in Windows Phone over iOS was the right decision. I despise Twitter; Facebook does it all so much better (all Facebook needs is a feature similar to trends and possibly hashtags.) Oh well, I'm hoping this leads to more people opting for Windows Phone over iOS, rather than more people opting to use Twitter over Facebook; however, I fear more people will abandon Facebook for Twitter now :(

I agree. Apple and facebook doesnt go together. Remember last year when they released ping they said they are working on integrating facebook but its been months and nothing still. I love facebook I dont know why apple doesnt take some time off to integrate it.

Wait, couldn't you just rename an album as something else and upload it to the cloud to get the album you 'spoofed' in this case? Wow, I hope Apple thought this one through.

I highly doubt the matching will be based on the file name, it will probably take into account the track lengths as well.

I sure as hell hope they don't require music in iTunes 10.3 to be uploaded to the cloud - there's no way I'm uploading a music library of 2.2TB!

I highly doubt the matching will be based on the file name, it will probably take into account the track lengths as well.

Which is also easy to spoof. You could spoof an entire album using a cuesheet and burning it, really.

Twitter and Facebook are very different services. They have some overlap, but they are very different.

I can't imagine someone saying, "OK, time to close down my Facebook account and move to Twitter."

Doubtfull, as im shure it would keep a record of HOW it became a legalized version, about the same as Money Laundering, just with music. And monry laundering is still illegal regardless

Again, there's no difference between a FLAC+CUE, APE+CUE or WavPack burned to a CD-R versus a purchase CD in this case. Hell, you don't even need to burn it, mounting it via a virtual drive should be enough.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
