Apple recently (and quietly) changed the functionality of iTunes. Instead of allowing 5 people at a time to stream music from an iTunes share over a LAN, only 5 people per day can listen in. Wolffe over at iPodlounge had this to say about it:

I don’t get it. What difference does it make whether 5 people are listening to your music or 10… or whether 3 people listened to your music that day or 20. What difference does it make if I burn 10 CDs versus 7? If I can burn 1, I can burn a million. Then again, if I really wanted to burn a million I wouldn’t be using iTunes.

Did somebody actually crunch some numbers and come to the conclusion that allowing people to burn their playlists 7 times instead of 10 actually affected the bottom line?

I’ve pretty much converted from Winamp to iTunes as for playing my music. I’ve even bought some music from iTunes. I’d probably buy a lot more if I had more money, but I tend to agree with this guy. What does changing limits like this really accomplish? There’s always another way around and if people really want to find it, they won’t mind spending a little bit of time to do it.
