Norway wants to pursue Apple

by crispin . Original by Lionel - 29/09/2008 23:37:14 CEST - Source: Le figaro
The business success of Apple in music is mainly related to the interdependence between the iPod and iTunes. It is technically impossible to use the first without passing through the second, while it is quite impossible to read the Fairplay files on other things besides the iPod.
Even though this irrefutable fact does not seem to pose a problem in the majority of the countries, Norway will not hear of it, and asked Apple to make the two entities more independent.
Apple has been dragging its feet, thus the mediator in charge of the defense of the consumers has fixed an ultimatum. If by November 3 Apple does not answer its request, Norwegian justice will be notified.

It will be very difficult for Apple to propose another way of filling an iPod (and they certainly do not want to), one can suppose that they coulld propose in this country only AAC pieces without DRM, even if it means having to make big cuts in the catalogue proposed in Norway.
