Yep. At least if the popular understanding is true.

Yup, this has been under extensive discussion -- take a look. From my quick scanning, it won't be a legally-prosecutable CC violation, but it's not so nice either...

Maybe we should just ignore the DRM on Microsoft's store. Surely that's just not being nice, too :-)

This is the problem with our modern digital distribution system. Whether you want to be or not, your content can be munged anyway they want to.
