I have a copy of some of the songs I've bought (iTMS) on my iBook, which is toast, but I didn't get a chance to deauthenticate it.

How does Apple know which machines are Authenicated and which ones aren't?
Apple II GS | Powerbook 165 | iMac Rev. A 96mb RAM| iBook G3 500mhz, 128mb RAM | Power Macintosh G5 1.6ghz, 2.25gb RAM | Black MacBook 2ghz, 2gb RAM | iPhone Rev. A 8gb HD

iTunes tracks the computers registered to your account using either the serial number or MAC address (it's built-in network ID#).
If you want to de-authorize a computer that no longer works or is no longer in your possession, contact iTunes customer service and they can take care of it.

It may take some convincing from what I hear... so be ready and feel free to report back.
