France Passes iTune Law

So France has passed that iTunes law that will effectively force Apple to open iTunes songs to other devices. You know what I say to that? Apple needs to pull their products from France. Pure and simple. You don’t like the device, don’t use it.

Both the Senate and the National Assembly, France's lower house, voted in favor of the copyright bill, which some analysts said could cause Apple to close iTunes France and pull its market-leading player from the country's shelves.

I take the same hardnosed stance with Microsoft and the EU. Don’t like MS bundling its own media player? Don’t buy it. All this crap with passing laws and levying huge fines is ridiculous. No one is barring France from making an iTunes competitor, none is barring the EU from using Linux.
