Can you pass on iTunes (or other) downloads?

[Dave2002]

Some people have been getting into a faff about whether you can leave downloaded material to your friends/relatives, and some have tried to involve Bruce Willis - http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...e-bruce-willis

Apart from the seeming fact that many CDs end up in charity shops and/or landfill when we go to glory, it does seem easier to leave CDs than downloads, though whether that would apply to CDs burnt from downloads I don't know. When I signed up to iTunes I thought the terms at the time suggested I could burn any downloaded material to CD, to do pretty much what I liked with for personal use - with the usual caveats, of course - but in the post moribund state I wouldn't really have any personal need for these.

Just copy the tracks to another drive, or burn them to a data/music CD. There's no digital rights management on music bought from iTunes these days, and of course tracks ripped from CD won't have them either.

I seem to remember there are similar onerous conditions printed on the back of CDs with regard to selling or lending.
