• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Correct. All music in the iTunes store is currently being moved to DRM free. Any titles with a little "+" icon next to them are DRM free "iTunes plus" titles.

All of the music that Amazon sells is DRM-free as well, and it's in MP3 format in case you have a device (such as a car stereo) that doesn't play AAC music.

For the time being, Amazon is sometimes cheaper than Apple, but that may no longer be true once Apple starts rolling out $0.69 songs.

That's true... I forget about amazon because they don't offer their stuff internationally yet *grumble*, but their offers are pretty decent as well!

A couple of other places to look are HDtracks and Magnatune.

At Magnatune you can actually listen to complete songs/albums prior to purchase.
