Getting reported to an authority isn't the same thing as actually getting investigated by the authority. I don't know about Norway's data protection folks, but a lot of European data protection authorities are under-resourced for the fairly broad mandate they have.
- phreeza 16y agoWell if a similar complaint and/or resulting investigation brought Apple to back down, there must be some resources behind it.
- gyardley 16y agoTrue, but I'm skeptical that happened. The referenced Norwegian complaint was brought in 2006 and gave Apple weeks to comply. Apple removed DRM from iTunes in 2009 - I suspect for reasons unrelated to Norway.
