steph666 is right. the EU, with France and Germany in the lead, are trying to get a ban on ANY kind of coding that restricks a paying user from fully using the tracks. Whether it's Apple or Microsoft. But these two are like the 'two big ones' that hold most of the market share. The EU has for instance also called against an opening up of the mediaplayer market. Now it's Microsoft's WMP that is installed standard on all computers, but what about realplayer & winamp and the nameless other players out there?? The EU is going against THAT monopoly as well.
