Apple a Monopoly?
Apple a Monopoly?
01/06/2005 12:06 PMApparently Apple isn't just taking people to court, they're also
being sued by an unhappy iTMS customer. It seems
Thomas Slattery is being "forced" to buy an iPod if he wants to use
the songs he purchased from the iTunes Music Store. Last I checked you
could listen to any song from the iTMS either on your PC or burn it to
a CD. Truth be told, he could burn it to a CD and then rip it back and
listen to it on whatever MP3 player he wanted.
"Apple has unlawfully bundled, tied, and/or leveraged its
monopoly in the market for the sale of legal online digital music
recordings to thwart competition in the separate market for portable
hard drive digital music players, and vice-versa," the suit
charged.
To follow this logic is like saying I could sue Microsoft because
they don't publish their entire software catalog for Linux or OS X.
I'm being "forced" to buy a PC with Windows on it. Should I be able to
sue simply because I can't run Access on my Mac? Hmmm... We'll see how
Mr. Slattery fares at his attempt before I send lawyers to Redmond.

Grokster case: Let me say what I think your problem is. You can use
these harsh terms, but you are dealing with something new, and the
question is, does the statutory monopoly that Congress has given you
reach out to that something new. And that's a very debatable question.
You don't solve it...

order against Microsoft Corp, alleging that the United States software
giant's restrictive licensing terms imposed on Japanese
personal-computer (PC) manufacturers constituted anti-competitive
behavior. The provision in question prevents PC makers from claiming
patent rights to related technologies against Microsoft or other
producers. Japan is the first to allege that the clause violates
anti-monopoly law.

01/06/2005 09:40 AMCory Doctorow:
An iTunes user is suing Apple under US anti-trust laws for locking
non-iPod players out of playing back iTunes music.
"Apple has turned an open and interactive standard into an artifice
that prevents consumers from using the portable hard drive digital
music player of their choice," the lawsuit states...
"Apple has unlawfully bundled, tied, and/or leveraged its monopoly in
the market for the sale of legal online digital music recordings to
thwart competition in the separate market for portable hard drive
digital music players, and vice-versa," the lawsuit said.
Mr Slattery called himself an iTunes customer who "was also forced to
purchase an Apple iPod" if he wanted to take his music with him to
listen to.
