"The European Commission has started a legal battle with consumer icon Apple and major record companies, saying their agreements on how to sell online music in Europe violates the freedom of consumers," begins an article entitled "EU targets Apple and Record Firms in Downloading Probe" published by the EU Observer on April 3. The article states that consumers can only purchase songs from the iTunes online store in their country. Prices are expensive in the EU, and Apple currently controls 70% of the global music download. This is unfair to consumers, for they are forced to buy their songs from iTunes, since Apple makes all of the record products they own, such as the iPod.
