Currently, song purchased and downloaded through iTunes are designed to work with Apple's market-leading iPod players but not competitors' models, including those using Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Media system. Likewise, iPods generally can't play copy-protected music sold through non-Apple stores. And that is not fair. ( to whom i'm not sure) But Apple has their right arm behind their back, a gun to their head, and a knife in their back.

OH My Oh My Oh My what can a person to do.
This violates anti-trust regulations. Whether or not you think there should be anti-trust laws, there are in some countries. Such laws are on the books in the US but have not been enforced in decades. But they are enforced in Europe.

Anti-trust laws are in place for the benefit of consumers. In reality, the same company should not be allowed to sell both music and music players. Selling both clearly violates anti-trust laws. But instead of telling Apple they cannot do both, they are allowing it with strict regulations.
