I'd say that as far as iTunes music goes, this is DOA.

That said, transferring of ownership and rights still remains for DRM'ed materials, email accounts, social networking accounts, user passwords, etc etc....
The article is sketchy, but I wonder if he's doing it for principle and to try to establish a precedent. That would be a valuable service for the rest of us who don't have his resources.
