The problem with that is the fact that your game you downloaded contains a certificate that is encrypted.
this certificate possibly holds your S/N and name therefore you CANNOT play this game on any other ipod WITHOUT "authorization"

What this means is that my sister bought sonic and phase under her name with my money for me. But itunes would not let me put the game into my ipod untill my sis went and "authorized" itunes to play "her" content....

I beleive itunes then copys the game and changes the "certificate" so that it is registered to my ipod BUT ALSO STILL HAS MY SISTERS S/N...(that way people dont just chainlink "authorization" from one user to another)- think about it person 1 allows person 2 who allows person 3 who allows person 4.....i dont think apple is that dumb. BUT HEY TRY IT... IT MIGHT WORK.


*note you can "authorize" up to 6 computers...
so if you need more than that you will have to "unauthorize" one of the other 6...
