Virgin Says Apple Won't Play Fair with FairPlay
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 12:00 PM
"In Apple's quarterly report filed today, the company reveals that Virgin Mega filed a complaint on June 28 against Apple France with the French Competition Council alleging that the company has wrongfully refused to license Fairplay DRM (digital rights management) technology to competitors. Virgin is seeking "Interim Measures," pending the determination of the merits of the case. A hearing on Virgin's request for such measures will likely take place in October or November 2004."
This is the second time Apple has come under fire for its refusal to license FairPlay. You would think by now the folks in Cupertino would get the message; PlayFair with FairPlay. Sorry, I just had to say that. :wink:
