Author Thon |author-Bjørn Erik |iTunes terms of service vs Norwegian marketing law. English transcribed: The Consumer Council reacts to the observation that iTunes DRM entails that the files can only be played on a few players, mainly Apple's own players. They furthermore believe that the terms of service's point 9b, where the customer among other things must agree not to circumvent or change such technical hindrances, is in conflict with the copyright law 53a. Copyright holders are by the copyright law entitled to decide if the work is to be made available, and in principle also how it is made available. Copyright can in my opinion not give the copyright holder right to demand all kinds of conditions when sold to consumers in generality.Norwegian original: Forbrukerrådet reagerer på at iTunes Music Stores DRM medfører at filene kun kan spilles på et fåtall spillere, hovedsakelig Apples egne spillere. De mener videre at tjenestevilkårenes punkt 9b, hvor kunden blant annet må samtykke til ikke å omgå eller endre slike tekniske sperrer, er i strid med åndsverksloven 53a. Rettighetshaverens enerett etter åndsverksloven gir anledning til å bestemme om verket skal gjøres tilgjengelig, og rettighetshaveren kan også i utgangspunktet bestemme måten dette skal skje på. Opphavsretten kan etter min mening ikke gi rettighetshaveren rett til å stille enhver form for betingelser ved salg til forbrukere , tracks on the EMI label became available in a DRM-free format called iTunes Plus.
