Apple Antitrust Case Gets Green Light

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday February 13, 2006 @04:42AM from the targets-deep-pockets-acquired dept.

SuperAlgae writes "The recent antitrust suit against Apple regarding iTunes and iPod has been approved to go forward. This is only the beginning of the process, but it does bring up some interesting questions about what defines a monopoly." From the article: "Slattery claimed that Apple's system freezes out competitors, and while one antitrust expert called it a long shot, another antitrust law professor said that the key to such a lawsuit would be convincing a court that a single product brand like iTunes is a market in itself separate from the rest of the online music market."

If iTunes were to use a format like, let's say WMA, there would not be a problem. *puts on body armor*
