So does this mean that mac users can sue Windows companies that don't make compatiblity available for them? Couldn't I file a lawsuit against Adobe for not making Premier for the mac which I like much better than Final Cut Pro? The lawsuit doesn't make any sense. The plaintiff can use any music that he buys on any player he/she chooses. There are benefits of using the ipod with itunes, but it's not required. Any place that sells mp3's or any other of the music formats can play them on the ipod while downloading them from iTunes.
It's like suing BMW for making a better cars than Ford. Apple can make a better product, even one that everyone wants, but then again when you go into a store to buy your mp3 player there are many more (and much less expensive) options available. Why should apple get sued for a consumer's free choice?
