Apple Threatens Over iPod Utility

Just came across this while browsing iPod utility software titles. The utility in question allowed one to drag music off the iPod into iTunes even if the tunes did not exist in the iTunes library to begin with. One legitimate use for this would be if you crashed your drive and lost all your ripped music, but it still existed on your iPod.

Another site mentions this:
iTunes 4.7 disabled a popular and useful utility called "iPod Download" which lets you drag and drop files from the iPod to anywhere you choose.
