If you are a user of iTunes, you will find it's an impossible thing to share your music with others. You are forbidden to transfer or copy music from iTunes or other products from Apple as iPod, iPhone, iPod touch etc.

Apple's proprietary DRM software is called FairPlay. FairPlay is built into QuickTime and used by iPhone, iPod, iTunes, and iTunes Store. FairPlay protected song purchased from iTunes are digitally encrypted preventing them from being played on unauthorized computers.
