It is possible that this has already been mentioned, but...If you are installing Mac OSX on either a legitimate apple pc/laptop or have decided to hack it onto another Intel based machine, Safari(Apple's browser) is bundled into the software, yes? I am not that familiar with the OSX environment, but the last time I has to reload a Mac Book, i did not see an option to remove Safari or choose an alternate browser. Now, I am completely aware that Apple has a significantly smaller market share, but this is growing considerably. Even in a dominantly MS environment like the one I work in, Mac Books are gaining in popularity due in large part to the numerous improvements that have been made. Still, this would need to be considered in the same light. Safari is bundled. If you don't like Safari, you have to use Safari to access and download a different version. I completely agree that the EU needs to drop this one. All they are doing is baiting the beast. This will only cause larger issues, even if an "equitable" solution is found.
I am sure this has already been brought to light, but...If i own a business and I either subscribe to a paid music subsription service or play publicly accessible radio programs for my customers/employees, how can I be liable for anything. The Radio Station and the Music subscription service have already paid any licensing costs associated with public broadcast of the music in question. In the case of Public radio, this licensing is paid for by advertisers. In the subscription service's case, this is what I pay a monthly or annual fee to access.
