TidBITS#822/27-Mar-06
=====================

  Your Honor, I object! We certainly didn't intend this issue
  of TidBITS to focus on legal battles. It wasn't our idea for
  the French to propose a law that would require Apple to allow
  any music player to play music from the iTunes Music Store.
  Plus, we simply couldn't have predicted that the Apple Computer
  v. Apple Corps lawsuit would be scheduled for the same week
  that the Creative Commons license was upheld in Dutch court.
  And for the record, Your Honor, we also have a new DealBITS
  drawing, a great MacNotables podcast on email clients, and
  a slew of TidBITS Talk discussions. The defense rests.

Topics:
    MailBITS/27-Mar-06
    DealBITS Drawing: BeLight Software's Disc Cover
    Creative Commons License Upheld in Dutch Court
    Apple, iTunes and France: The Reality
    Carry That Weight: Apple Versus Apple
    Hot Topics in TidBITS Talk/27-Mar-06
