I always believed the color of lights in the photo labs has something to do with the insensitivity of the photo paper.

Red lights help with not destroying your night vision and regards photo labs red lights are used when developing/handling black and white photos as the paper and negatives are not affected by the red light, but when developing/handling colour film it has to be done with the paper/negatives kept in complete darkness.

The BBC goes on to speculate... It suggested that this information could be an anti-piracy measure as it could help work out who was putting downloads on file-sharing sites. But it also added that the user information was found on all the tracks that people buy on iTunes whether free of DRM or not.

The BBC has contacted Apple seeking comment but so far the company has not responded.

Other websites said it was only a matter of time before a utility program was produced that which stripped out the identifying information. At this point it is not yet clear how deeply the user data is buried in the track or how easy it is to remove. Lets hope it's soon
