So what exactly is the problem?

By stripping the DRM that makes you a criminal, probably more so than just downloading the tracks would have.
"Theres also software" I just plug my player into my PC, be it running Windows or Linux and lo and behold I can do whatever I want with the files on it.
So there are a couple of problems - add to the mix that as far as I know, iTunes defaults to DRMing ripped CDs (you know the ones you already paid for)
Apple are the masters of the Vendor Lock in - avoidance is the best course of action.
