The service is intended to turn ripped songs from already purchased CDs. It doesn't magically turn illegally downloaded music to legal ownership even if Apple's service can't/won't enforce the difference. It's still gray.

The bottom line: No one cares about music any more. It's worth less than $25/year.

Apple didn't pay $150,000,000 a pop to the major labels to allow you to play music you legally acquired.

  Step 1) Purchase an iTunes Match subscription
  Step 2) Convert MP3s to iTunes matched AACs
  Step 3) Delete MP3s
stare in amazement at this magic before you
