Agrees to drop download prices in the UK
UK digital music fans got a bit of good news today with word that Apple had agreed to begin charging them the same price as their European Union brethren.
EU regulators leveled formal antitrust charges against Apple for charging different prices for the same downloads in different EU countries after a formal complaint was filed by British consumer protection association Which? back in 2005.
Apple said it must pay some record labels more to distribute their music in the UK than it pays them to distribute the same music elsewhere in Europe.
