several countries in europe are looking into regulation that will require apple to open up its DRM , so the songs bought on iTunes can play on any device (right now they only play on iPods).

i think it is ridiculous and that governments should stay away from regulating this space.

people are right to be upset with apple and their iTunes service. the apple DRM is terrible to consumers. it is very hard to move iTunes songs from PC to PC. it only supports iPods. you can't share the files with your friends. you can't resell the content.  

but the way to deal with it is different.

if people are upset with Apple's conduct, then they should stop using iTunes (i did) to express their discontent.

btw, if you're really care about this issue there are demonstrations at Apple stores tomorrow.
