Norway consumer champs act against iTunes: "They claim the terms of service offered by iTunes violate basic contract law. Norway’s Consumer Council has delivered a formal complaint to the Consumer Ombudsman against Apple, claiming that the terms of service offered by iTunes violate basic contract law. It criticises the service because its terms allow the company to change a consumer’s usage rights for music they have acquired after the purchase takes place. The consumer group also argues that as iTunes Norway runs through a Norwegian domain in local currency, the company should be subject to Norwegian law. (In its terms of service, iTunes claims it runs under the aegis of UK law in Europe).
