How do I know the Music is NOT (DRM) Digital rights managed? Do i just always buy the CD?
iPod classic, iOS 6
All itunes music has been DRM free for several years. They do not sell any DRM protected music -haven't in several years.
MayB i Don't understand DRM. I purchased the rights to all my songs (67K) but, some will Not transfeer to other computers or copy. When i purchase the song i wnat to have the song not the right to listen to it.
If I purchase a album or song, i want to own it. That way i can tranfserr it to my girls & thaty can have it. No sense in building a library if the music isn't mine. If my iTunes account goes away ... i still want my library for my family.
roaminggnome, U have 64,450 points .... U have the knowledge ..... yes?
You NEVER buy the song. The artist/label ALWAYS owns the music.
No matter if you buy on CD, download, etc you ONLY have buy the rights to your own personal use of the song. This is nothing new. It has always been this way.
You can transfer DRM music to other computers. This has little do do with your issue.
What exactly do you want to accomplish? Not sure what you are after.

Again, you NEVER own the music.
You can transfer it to your girls. Why do you think that you cannot?
The music is NEVER yours. You ONLY buy the right to your own personal use. Your household can use your music as well.
Incorrect,
If i purchase the CD, I can give that to my girls to load on iTuns for their use in the future. If i purchase a download, the music is restricted to that itunes account & CAN NOT be moved. CD allows me to download to iTunes, Window media player, Or whatever. The CD format I own the SONG & can give it to my kids. I own all the "rights" to my music but You Are My Miracle" by Vittorio Grigolo wil NOT cpoy. It say this computer is not authorized to play that DRM!!! That wrong. Yes?
I am 100% correct.
"If i purchase the CD, I can give that to my girls to load on iTuns for their use in the future."
Just because you can do something does not make it legal. You can legally share music with your household. You cannot legally distribute it to others.
The CD format I own the SONG
You DO NOT own the song. The artist/label owns the song. This is the law. There is NO DOUBT at all about this. You own the EXACT same rights with a cd as you do with a download.
"It say this computer is not authorized to play that DRM!!! That wrong. Yes?"
Authorize the computer.
RIAA - The Law - October 21, 2012
"Copyright law protects the value of creative work. When you make unauthorized copies of someone’s creative work, you are taking something of value from the owner without his or her permission. Most likely, you’ve seen the FBI warning about unauthorized copying at the beginning of a movie DVD. Though you may not find these messages on all compact discs or music you’ve downloaded from the Internet, the same laws apply. Federal law provides severe civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized reproduction, distribution, rental or digital transmission of copyrighted sound recordings. (Title 17, United States Code, Sections 501 and 506). "
"Making unauthorized copies of copyrighted music recordings is against the law and may subject you to civil and criminal liability."
I undeerstand I never own the music. This idea is .... in building a library i want that investment to go to my kids. There R issues with downloadable music. I can't transfeer some songs to their computers, so they can take it off to college. MayB i don't know how. I know if i download a CD it ALWAYS is playable on the other computer. My library is huge 67,978 songs. I want them to have that. How do i know if i purchase of ITunes a download it will be transferable for them? The Vittorio Grigolo song was purchased as a download.
Itunes does not sell any DRM protected music. It has not for years. It is the exact same as a cd. No DRM protection.
You can burn itunes music to cd. You can copy it to other computers. You can sync it to devices.
Share in a network or authorizing the computer is TIED to the iTunes account. What U R saying is .... Legally, ONLY the purchaser has the music. If i give my daughter the CD is that illegal?
I purchase large CD collections on eBay & load them to my library? Is that illegal?
If the CD is original & not a copy can i sell it?
UR correct on EVERYTHING but copy & play to other computers .... There R restrictions in downloading & the CD. I've run into it. That's Y i asked. Thanks for all the insight.
" If i give my daughter the CD is that illegal?"
If she is in your household, then no.
If she is not, and you keep a copy of the songs, then yes.
"I purchase large CD collections on eBay & load them to my library? Is that illegal?"
If the seller keeps a copy, then it is illegal.
"If the CD is original & not a copy can i sell it?"
If you do not keep a copy.
