Apple Faces iTunes Test Case In Norway

Norway's top consumer advocate is taking Apple to court to try to force the company to open iTunes to all music players. This ought to be interesting, I am not familiar with the laws in Norway but if they are successful, you can bet other countries will follow suit.

Norway is leading a European campaign that began two years ago to get Apple to make its iTunes online store compatible with rivals' digital music players. "We discussed this at a meeting two weeks ago, and decided that Norway will do the test case," Consumer Ombudsman Bjoern Erik Thon said by telephone. "This could have international consequences."
