Apple's DRM has drawn the ire of three Nordic countries, which are accusing the Mac maker of operating illegally by making its music player and iTunes download service incompatible with rivals'.

Denmark, Norway and Sweden have all agreed to tackle the issue of the lack of interoperability between Apple's DRM, known as Fairplay, and copy protection systems used by rivals such as Microsoft, for their MP3 players.
