may report users having music bought by somebody (read the /. story), or that the media companies may track the music file being shared.
Even if such information is sent back to Apple, there is little that they or the music companies can do with the information - since the encoded name and email can easily be removed or spoofed. From the looks of it, the information is purely for statistical purposes. Apple/EMI wants to know how many of its customers actually respect the freedom that is given to them :)
