EU May Force iTunes Store To Accept Returns

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday February 12, 2007 @06:42AM from the putting-a-dent-in-the-bottom-line dept.

Sweet Harmony writes "ArsTechnica is reporting that the European Union may soon require online music stores to accept returns. A review of European consumer protection laws has highlighted online sales of 'digital content services' as an area where existing consumer protection laws need to be harmonized. 'The EC would like to standardize cooling-off periods along with other aspects of the EU's consumer protection laws. One of the issues being considered is whether the rules on consumer sales should apply to 'digital content services' like music.'"

return any online purchase within 7 working days, no need to give a reason, and get your money back. Shipping costs are yours, but that's all.

If you paid $9,999 for 10,000 songs, then you were overcharged!

At current $0.99 per song pricing, 10,000 songs would cost $9,900
