Apple's iTunes DRM is Illegal in Norway

Consumer Ombudsman Norway has ruled that Apple's DRM Fairplay is Illegal.

"It doesn't get any clearer than this. Fairplay is an illegal lock-in technology whose main purpose is to lock the consumers to the total package provided by Apple by blocking interoperability," Waterhouse told OUT-LAW.COM. "For all practical purposes this means that iTunes Music Store is trying to kill off one the most important building blocks in a well functioning digital society, interoperability, in order to boost its own profits."

You may recall that Germany and France created a Nordic Union against Fairplay recently.
