Rather than focusing onkicking all the european RIAA - equivalents ’ butt , the useless European Union bureaucrats carry on to spend money on pointless clobber , like pressuring Apple to launch the iTunes Music Store ’s DRM system . At least according to EU Consumer Protection Commissioner Meglena Kuneva , who thinks that “ something has to change ” .
“ Do you mean it ’s fine that a CD dally in all CD players but that an iTunes song only play in an iPod ? I do n’t . Something has to alter ”
Yes , something has to change , Meglena . Apart from your mammoth pay and wild EU expenses , you also need to get a cue and chance on that 1 ) iTunes songs account for less than 3 % of iPod owners music and 2 ) you may actually re-create iTunes Music Store songs to other players and computers using plain CD combustion or software uncommitted on the web . mayhap then you will do something worthy and hunt the big labels instead .
