Same as Windows debate

You've gotta know this debate will drag on for years just as the MS Windows debate did.
It'll eventually go to court, Apple will have a completely separate iTunes in the EU and Scandinavia then it will quietly disappear.
I can see a day when iTunes will evolve into something different from today, even disappear and this whole thing will become yesterdays news.
MS started on the right path with "Plays for Sure" but they have now back peddled with the Zune.
All they've done is used the same type model (albeit a crappy one - Zune Marketplace Credits) as Apple.

Yep. Apple is about to feel the sting of the EU. Hate to tell you, the Zune sucks! I love the Creative Zen. Gee, I even put work files on there. And, why a BROWN Zune??? My Zen is Pink!

I guess Microsoft geeks need girlfriends so they would ask them about colors! Brown??? It looks like that "candybar" in Candy Shack!

It is all PR, related to the fact that several EU countries and now the whole EU is thinking of hauling apple into court for monopoly practices. By throwing the blame on the Music companies(3 of the big 4 music companies are EU companies), he can shift the blame back to the EU. That is, he's telling them to clean their own house up before throwing stones at his windows.
