7 disc burn limit - how to (legally) overcome?

I just tried to burn an album to CD, for the 7th time, and received the following error message: "Sorry. You are licensed to burn up to 7 CDs of a playlist containing music purchased from the iTunes Store. You have already burned 7 CDs of this playlist."

If I re-purchase the same album again, will I be allowed to burn another 7 CDs?

Is there another workaround for this problem?

(By the way, in case anyone is thinking that I can overcome this problem by adding or subtracting tracks from the playlist, you should know that each of the tracks I'm trying to burn is longer than a CD, and when I try to burn to burn a playlist with multiple tracks from this album, I receive the following error message: "Playlists which include purchased music and tracks longer than an audio CD cannot be burned. To burn an audio CD of <track 1>, pease make a playlist with just that track and choose "Burn Playlist to Disc" from the file menu.")

Your tracks will have DRM assigned to them which limit how they can be burned. You can put the album tracks into a different playlist and burn them again.

iTunes store music purchases no longer have DRM and so are not restricted to burning limits. If you repurchased them now you would not have the burning limit. However unless you really want to upgrade to non-DRM (you also get double the bit rate) then stick with what you have and use the tracks in a new playlist.

Remember burning tracks should stay within iTunes store terms of usage and should be for personal use only.
