Your iPod is utterly promiscuous and will fall right into an intimate relationship with any computer you plug it into. it'll accept that computer's bodily fluids as its own. That's why I never let iTunes get into that kind of relationship. I just copy stuff over. That's one problem with bigger iPods. It becomes more practical to just let it become a kind of appendage to iTunes instead of copying over the stuff you really want. DRM is guilty of plenty of hateful behaviour, this however is something the iPod does all by itself.
