Virgin Accuses Apple of Abusing Monopoly

worm eater writes "The Register reports that VirginMega (Virgin Group's online music venture in France) is asking the French antitrust authorities to force Apple to license the FairPlay DRM. If France agrees with Virgin, will this be a blessing in disguise for Apple, making their DRM format the defacto standard, or will it be the downfall of the mighty iTunes Music Store?"

Indeed. The trouble seems to come from this ugly routine in their JavaScript module:

function blockEnter(e,buttonName)
{ var characterCode ;
if(!ie)
{e = e;characterCode = e.which ;}
else
{characterCode = e.keyCode ;}
if(characterCode == 13)
{
if (getObj(buttonName))
{
if (ie)
setTimeout("getObj('" + buttonName + "').click()",100);
else
setTimeout("getObj('" + buttonName + "').click;",100);

return false ;

}
else
return false ;
}
else
{return true ;}
}

As Michael Jackson will attest...

...you never want a virgin to accuse you of anything!

Apple Abusing of Virgin?

No wonder one can't find a virgin nowadays!
That's an absurd. Apple should be prosecuted for assault, indecent exposure and... oh wait... is The Apple and The Virgin...
