iTunes overcharges

According to the BBC:

Apple iTunes 'overcharging in UK'

The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has referred Apple's iTunes service to the European Commission on grounds that it overcharges UK customers.

The move follows a complaint from Which? that iTunes charges UK users 20% more than those in France and Germany.

Which?, formerly the Consumer Association, also complained that the UK customers were barred from logging on to the French and German sites.

The OFT is asking the European Commission to rule on the matter.

Just another reminder of "rip-off Britain" - this will be an interesting case to watch.
