iTunes security with MiniStore
Some people are considering iTunes to be malware for the MiniStore feature of iTunes 6.0.2. They say that it is a violation of privacy that iTunes is sending information about your music to external servers. This happens even if you are not explicitly in the iTunes Music Store.
There doesn't appear to be any personal information, other than the currently selected tracks, sent to the servers. I can think that there should be an option that the user could set to disable this feature. I personally, will leave this feature enabled. In fact, I want the recommendations to show for the currently playing track, and not just the currently selected track.
