Heh. In writing up my problem, I think I found the solution. Thanks, hivemind!
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You could always burn the purchased songs to a CD-Audio disc, give as many copies as you want to folks, and they could re-rip it in if they want. I don't know if the tags floated with the CD-Audio disc or not, but you could still share. It just took an extra step.
Which is exactly what I do, but in that scenario the email address in the file isn't relevant, because I'm not sharing that file--I'm sharing that song.
However, in a DRM-free world, I can share the file itself, and therefore that's when my information goes out into the wild.

move out and draw fire
X-Box 360: I bought one for my DH assuming we could play co-op; hook two controllers up and go. But I can't find anything in the literature or on the internet, and the game menus seem to assume that by "cooperative" play you mean XBox Live with someone else.
If coop play on the same deck is possible, how can I figure out which games allow it and which are Live only?

Our wings are not tired
Most of the FPS games like Halo 2 and Gears of War offer split screen co-op. I'm not certain how they denote it on the box though.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Split screen is irritating if you don't have a big TV. But at least in coop play you can't cheat by looking at what the other person is doing.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
If coop play on the same deck is possible, how can I figure out which games allow it and which are Live only?
I've noticed sometimes on the back of the box, somewhere there's usually a tiny rectangle (bring a magnifying glass) with information on the game like number of players. If it's just 1 player, it's just Xbox Live.
I have no idea if it's standard, though.

I'm getting phone spam: lame (and that's literal, today) text message jokes from 90900. How can I make that stop? I have no idea what I did to get it started, and I'm not sure who they are.
Time for a google hunt, methinks.
eta: apparently texting "STOP" to 90900 should end it--but it looks like I might have been charged $9.99 for the dubious privilege already. I need to work out why.

ita,
I'm not sure who your phone provider is, but at&t has a place buried on the website where you can prevent people from text messaging you from the website.
You can also block numbers from text messaging you.

Oh, bless! I need to track that down. AT&T is my provider for now. Still trying to find a E70 which will propel my move to T Mobile.
Although it occurs to me I can just get my Razr unlocked and move ahead of time...
