I think it is true that each iPod/iPhone can only be registered with one iTunes installation. So the complaint, as I understand it, is you can't take you iPod to another PC and easily dump the contents. You could do that if it was treated as a generic USB drive like some other devices. A reason for Apple not to allow that is ease of music theft. This is absurd, to me, in that you can take your iTunes music library (if filled with non-DRM like mine) on a portable drive and copy directly from THAT drive to another PC. But I believe that is the reasoning.
