iTunes Launches in Europe

Today, Apple launched its European iTunes Music Store in the U.K., France, and Germany and announced plans to start its Pan-European service in October 2004.  The Berkman Center's Digital Media Team has tracked the expansion of the U.S.-based service and analyzed the legal implications of these changes in a new report -- the updated iTunes Case Study.  The Case Study examines the legal and regulatory issues in the digital media debate in Europe, Japan, and China and provides an initial assessment of the iTunes Music Store.  A discussion of the most recent European developments will be posted soon.
