Apple admitted to deleting music from some iPods, music purchased from competing music markets that is. Apple claimed the deletion of music was a security measure. Plaintiffs are seeking $350 million in damages being sought in U.S. District Court in Oakland, California, under antitrust laws. Apple maintains a closed system, it froze out makers of rival devices, and allowed Apple to sell iPods at inflated prices, plaintiffs say. Apple security director testified that hackers with names like “DVD Jon” and “Requiem” made Apple very paranoid about protecting iTunes.”]
