Norway’s Consumer Ombudsman Files iTunes Complaint
Tuesday, June 6th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
Norwegian Consumer Ombudsman Bjørn;Erik Thon has filed a complaint with Apple over its iTunes Music Store, claiming that its transaction terms violate the country's laws. He said that Norway's Market Council, as well as similar groups in Sweden and Denmark, agree with him, according to a Norwegian news site.
"The move is the latest step in Scandinavian skepticism towards the successful service's protection system of songs sold for use on Apple's massively popular iPod player," the Web site reported. At the heart of the matter is the fact that users must violate the terms of their agreement with the iTMS if they want to use DRM-protected music on a device other than an iPod.
Mr. Thon said that "his phone has already begun to ring regularly with long-distance calls from Apple's 'well-paid lawyers.'"
