Well, you can... unless, you use HYMN to strip the DRM. What happens is the song will play but it still has a finger print that iTunes sees and unless that computer is registered to the song, it won't be able to burn the song to a CD.

It shouldn't be a problem for legal music though. All you have to do "imediasearch", is go to the "Advanced" menu item of iTunes and select "Authorize Computer...". No problem, right.

Oh, and "imedia"... a service provider in India (or whereever project HYMN ran to in an effort to get someone to host it) willing to go to court does not count as "legal backing". It means they are oblivious to the stakes at hand or are stupid and willing to take the chance in getting dragged to court.
