Apple Sued in France for iPod Music Royalties

Posted by pudge on from the seems-fair dept.

alex_guy_CA writes "A musicians rights group in France is suing Apple Computer for back royalties due from iPod sales. It seems in France, all CDs, hard drives, and the like owe musicians money in case any of it is used for piracy. Only Apple isn't paying up." I want compensation from sales of Microsoft Windows just in case it is used for spreading viruses.

    That's pretty funny, seeing as the US Dollar is now trading at roughly the same exchange with the Euro as the Canadian dollar is to the US Dollar.

    This "weak dollar" policy of the Bush administration is likely what's drving the economy at the moment, not the silly tax cuts to the rich.
