The Consumer Council in Norway says that Apple is “skirting issues” on the iTunes DRM issue (see Jobs’ comments from yesterday), reports AP. “We welcome Apple taking this problem seriously, and addressing it a such a high level,” Torgeir Waterhouse, senior adviser to the Consumer Council, told The Associated Press. However, he said Apple was hiding behind the record companies and distorting aspects of the dispute in the letter.” Last month, the consumer organizations in Finland, Norway, France, Germany and the Netherlands launched a joint drive to force Apple to change its policies, notes the report.
