Back in 2006, Norway’s consumer Ombudsmen sided with critics that claimed the Norwegian version of the iTunes store violated consumers’ rights by tying content purchased there to Apple’s iPods and iTunes software. (Presumably, that would now be extended to include things like the iPhone and Apple TV.) The issue may have falling off the international radar, but Norway hasn’t forgotten about it: the consumer Ombudsman Björn Erik Thon is taking Apple before Norway’s Market Council in an effort to get the company to open up the iTunes store to devices other than the iPod.
