Apple Antitrust Case Finds New Consumer Plaintiff

Posted by timothy on Saturday December 13, 2014 @12:09AM from the you-may-have-already-won dept.

An anonymous reader writes Class action against Apple is set to continue after 65-year-old amateur figure skater Barbara Bennett decided she would volunteer to represent consumers in the faltering antitrust case. U.S. district judge Yvonne Gonzalez-Rogers is reportedly satisfied that Bennett qualifies as a class member, telling attorneys that they 'were on the right track.' Bennett offered to volunteer in the case after reading an online news story which suggested that the suit was floundering due to a lack of a named plaintiff after the last plaintiff was disqualified earlier this week.

Apple only prevented people from loading third party music on the device they sold, not on everyone's.
Only third party music laced with DRM. Normal mp3 files from any source have always worked seamlessly.
