Is that a fact? From what I've read and from what you quoted from a user at BB, it sounds like only the Product ID or artist/title/genre/kind of the track is going directly to Apple, not a 3rd party server, and ONLY IF the Mini-Store is visible, ONLY when a track is clicked, NOT for every song played.

For regular MP3s, it'll run a full text search to find related articles, for purchased music, it searches by the original product ID. Sample query string is: /WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/ministoreMatch?an=Daft% 20Punk&gn=Electronic&kind=song&pn=Discovery
