US attacks Europe on behalf of Apple- by Nick Farell
ALREADY BACKING Microsoft over its antitrust defence in the EU, the US government is weighing in on the side of Apple in its wars with European countries. Justice Department antitrust chief Thomas Barnett has dubbed actions by foreign governments against iTunes online music service as "misguided enforcement". He said that governments should think twice before interfering with popular new technologies. Barnett claimed moves to impose restrictions on iTunes were an example of overzealous regulation that he said could discourage innovation and hurt consumers.
Speaking at an antitrust law conference in Washington, DC, Barnett didn’t name names, but he would almost certainly be referring to action being taken in France and several Scandinavian countries.
