Weather This violates anti-trust regulations has yet to be proven in a court of law. As i stated and still believe there's much more to this than meets the eye. Bill gates hinself said the easiest way to defeat this whole thing is go out buy a CD and rip it. Additionally it seems a bit interesting that the plaintif wants Apple to open DRM then turn around and pay Microsoft lic. fees for WMA. But it won't be settled here so I'll wait and read the future legal briefs.

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.
