Even if AltroConsumo says that Apple’s DRM is not the worst and more restrictive the dominance of iTunes on the national music market could be the object of a review by the Italian Antitrust Authority.
Altroconsumo wants Apple to review its DRM policies toward a more open model that could be an example for other operators and the music majors.
