CNET‘s staff writer, John Borland reports on the latest music trend sweeping the Internet as iTunes 4 users have discovered that they can share their music collection with others.
It was thought that iTunes 4 only supported sharing over a LAN (local area network), but several programmers have discovered that iTunes 4 does have Internet sharing capabilities built-in and are beginning to exploit the unsupported feature.
“Apple itself did not release documentation on the over-the-Net sharing features and does not officially support the efforts.
iTunes ‘is not meant to be used in any other way than for personal use,’ said an Apple representative.
