No one ever seems to mention it, but I assume that there is still a digital watermark encrypted in downloaded music files so the RIAA can track the origin of the initial material.

Anyone know about this?

iTunes most definatley, yes.
Zune DRM Free, most definately, No - no ID information of any kind.

Don't know about any of the others.

There's that Sony word again.

Man, they just can't stop doing the wrong things lately, can they?
