They may not have, but what they have done is written an Illegal Contract. The terms of the contract is illegal in Norway, so it does not matter what else you can use the iPod for - i.e. a coaster, a doorstop or a lead weight. “Apple didn’t decieve the customer.”

Apple developed this iTunes/iPod product bundle completely in house, and in my opinion, they have every right to it. If you don;t like it, then don't buy into it. Apple didn't decieve the customer. It's not like people don't know that you can play protected music on the iPod only from the iTunes music store. It will play MP3, WMA (non-protected), a number of other media files. If I was Apple, I would pull out of Norway over this and leave the customers hanging. As for the person here in the US that is suing them for similar things, all I have to say is good luck.

It may be helpful for people to write their own letters to the bureau, especially if you are an actual customer of the iTunes/iPod bundle. http://www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/ I wrote about this to a contact at the Competition Bureau.
