    iTunes does so because it wants to keep your folders and music organized, and makes sure you have a copy of the track to play after you just transfer it say from a flash drive. You can turn this off, go to Preferences, and then under Advanced > General, uncheck "Copy Files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to Library" :).
