Norway Ombudsman looks at iTunes TOS and cries foul
You
know why DRM sucks? Because it makes it possible for Apple to do naughty things like change the ways you can use your
iTunes Music Store tunes after you've purchased the songs / videos. If you didn't know about it, you should really take
a long read of the iTMS Terms of Service. It looks like someone in Norway has noticed and found it to be supremely
problematic: "The Consumer Council of Norway find the terms to be unbalanced and highly in favour of iTunes as one
party in the entered agreement. . . . The consumer is granted few or no rights while iTunes provides itself with
several unfair rights according to Waterhouse."So now, the TOS is up for review. I'd like to think Norway will slap iTunes down and it will lead to a loosening of the TOS across the globe, but considering how Apple's current poor support of Europe lags behind support in the U.S., I seriously doubt that Steve Jobs is very concerned by this review.
