iPod foulplay?

Despite Apple's generous personal use rights, which indicates that music purchased from iTunes can be used on up to 5 computers, the Ipod "synchronization occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another." [Apple iPod Faq]

Walt Mossberg thinks it's ridiculous that the iPod doesn't allow you to keep legally purchased music "synchronized on all your computers." So he offers some solutions. [WSJ]
