Consumer Group Complains About iTunes... In Norway

A Norwegian consumer group has asked the country's ombudsman to look into the iTunes Music Store, alleging it violates consumers' rights. Among other complaints, the group has several issues with the store's terms and conditions, but also says that only allowing songs to be played on the iPod and not other portable music players contravenes fair use provisions of the country's copyright law. A consumer's group in the UK has made similar complaints there, as have other European groups. Apple, of course, couldn't care less about the iTunes DRM as it pertains to copy protection -- it just likes the lock-in.
