I only have like 45 songs I've brought in iTunes, but I like those songs so I'm going to get a Firewire cable and use the Setup Assistant to transfer them over to my new iMac G5.

I do think that people whoobey the rules SHOULD be able to transfer their songs via their iPods to new Macs--because when you buy a song from iTunes, you ARE the owner. And the encoding is such that should you dare try to upload that music to say, Limewire or something, your name will be front and center on that file.
