Apple Computer has accused France of “state-sponsored piracy” in reaction to a proposed law that would allow iTunes users to play their music on devices other than iPods. Currently, songs bought on Apples popular iTunes online music store can be played only on Apple’s iPod music players. Some analysts say Apple is likely to exit the French digital music market rather than alter its policy. If the law passes, “legal music sales will plummet just when legitimate alternatives to piracy are winning over customers,” Apple says.”]
