US Government Expresses Support to Apple
This is a comfort for Apple. After a gripe with the French government over a bill forcing Apple to make its downloads work on all digital music players, the American Government expressed its support to the embattled music download service company. Citing violations of intellectual property rights as the reason why the American government is throwing its support to Apple, the American Commerce Secretary asserts that any apparent violation of one’s property right will not go uninvestigated.
Is this another Franco-American cultural and technological war? Also, would this mean the end of iPod sales in France? I would have to think so.
