Norway consumer group irate over Kindle, e-book tie-in →
In a critique published on its website, Council head Hans Marius Graasvold said that the fine print in the Kindle’s contract violated several provisions of Norwegian consumer protection law. For one thing, it establishes a bond between the content that a person buys and their Kindle—much as Apple used DRM for years to tie iTunes and the iPod.
Some would argue that this -like the iTunes case- doesn’t make any difference. It does. Just by it being in the news.
