  Apple has the right to do whatever they want with their own iPods,
don't they? After all, they fully own all possible rights to everything
related to iPods, and Apple is a privately owned company. Nobody has the
right to go and tell Apple what they can or cannot do with their own
products, right?

  For example, if Apple wants to implement DRM in the music they sell
online so that they will only play on Apple's own iPods, they have the
full right to do so, don't they? They own the rights to sell the music,
and they own the rights to their iPods. What rights does anyone else have
to go and tell Apple that they can't do that? After all, if you don't like
it, you can go and buy some other mp3 player.

  Well, the European Union disagreed with this view and told Apple to
lift their DRM from iPod.

  So it's not always that simple, you see?
