“This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons”
Tonight I got home from a movie (Everything’s Gone Green - good movie) and headed to the iTunes Store to listen to some previews from the soundtrack. I was greeted by this message:
I suspect this is because I have used SharpMusique, an unauthorized Linux-based client for the iTunes Store (that lets you pay for music). That said, my account has been disabled from logging in from the official iTunes client as well (screenshot).

That just sucks ... does this mean you'll not be able to authorize your songs on any future computer? Seems like a real pitfall of DRM.

Serves you right. "Unauthorized" means something, you know?

^^ There's a reason nobody likes her.
Are you planning to appeal or contact the company? Might be able to resolve something, you never know.
