No idea why all of a sudden this started happening (I didn’t “associate” the computer with a different Apple ID), but apparently this has been a known issue for years, since June 2011.

I guess the intent was to prevent piracy ( http://betanews.com/2011/06/07/what-happens-when-you-download-itunes-past-purchases-with-a-different-account/ ) but both in concept and implementation this is a horrific user experience fail. Beyond embarrassing.
Simple solution instead of this malarkey: if you try to play or download something that was purchased with a different Apple ID, you are asked to enter the user name / password for the Apple ID used to purchase the item.
I also just learned this:
“Movies rented on your Apple TV are not transferable to any other device and can only be viewed on your Apple TV.” ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1498 )
Fucked up. I love my Apple TV but honestly this is so absurd that I might ditch it and find an alternative…
It’s funny, I just read this article yesterday:
Maybe I’ve been cursed with the Zeldman Curse?!… NOOOOO!!!…

Inspirational: “The Waiting Place” by @dcurtis . Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss.
”
Dr. Seuss’s real name was Theodore Geisel. He used the pseudonym “Seuss”–his middle name–because he was waiting until he possessed the talent and experience necessary to write, as he put it, “the next great American novel.” That novel never materialized, but Geisel spent his life writing the most popular and significant children’s books in history. It would be hard to call his career anything but an incredible success. But he was always waiting. He was waiting for himself to become a “serious” writer, which he would never become.
