Now that Apple computer is on top and has been on top in the digital music arena, everyone is giving them a hard time.  This time it is Scandinavia . . .

Denmark, Norway and Sweden plan to force Apple Computers Inc to break the exclusive link between its iPod music players and online iTunes store.

What is wrong with tying software to work specifically with hardware?  Are we to separate Linux from TiVo?  It is not like Apple has exclusive rights to all music.  There are other digital music formats out there:  WMA, MP3, Real.   If you don't like Apple's setup, use the other codecs are create your own.
