nonsense
The name and email address has always been there in the file's metadata. Nothing new has happened. I think there's just a whole lot of whining going on here. I think it's a perfectly reasonable approach to discouraging the casual sharing of these tracks on p2p networks - totally without impeding your ability to do whatever else you want to do with it.
The higher bitrate doesn't sound a lot better than the previous one? Seems to me like the people who complained so bitterly about the lower bitrate for the last few years should take note of this fact: 128-bit AAC sounds pretty gosh darned good.
I'm not too pleased with the price increase of single tracks, but at least album prices haven't increased.
All things considered I think there's entirely too much bitching about nothing going on.
