"Crazy" iTunes dowloads is threat to consumers
13 December 2006
Reacting to iTunes chart naming Crazy as most downloaded song, Siån Berry, Principal Speaker, Green Party, said:
"Each song bought is a 79p commitment to stick to Apple's store and iPod players since the songs bought cannot be legally transferred to another format. We all need to think a little beyond the sheen of unscratched iPods and think how consumers and musicians will feel in a few years time when they are de facto locked into a single format by a single vendor. It's time to act to guarantee interoperability of DRM formats in order to consumer and musician's rights."
