Norwegian Consumer Group Targets Online Music Stores

Hannover, Germany -- According to a report by German
newspaper Heise Online, a Norwegian consumer-advocacy group
has filed a formal complaint against Apple Computer, Microsoft
and other providers of online music stores. The Consumer Council
of Norway (CCN) objects to the fact that the terms of iTunes
downloads may be changed after they are purchased, that Apple
disclaims liability if iTunes is responsible for opening security risks
on computers and that purchased songs can only be played on an
iPod. Apple also stipulates that all its European iTunes stores
operate under U.K. law, which, the CCN argue, violates Norway's
Marketing Control Act. The CCN is asking a court to compel Apple
to change the terms and conditions of its Norwegian iTunes Store.
