Remember the French the next time you think of Apple.

I don't know if you guys have been monitoring the news about Apple lately or not but awhile back the French passed a law opening up iTunes to other players besides the iPod. This would in turn make iTunes nothing more than a pirates buffet. Read about it here. It did pass, btw.

Now, CEO Steve Jobs has sold off 45 per cent of his stock. Read about it here.

Steve Jobbs was reported to be considering pulling out of France altogether.

What do you think will happen to Apple when they pull out of France? It's starting to look like they will. You don't just sell 45 per cent of your stock for no reason. Thoughts?

Edit: I was unsure of exactly where to put this as it falls under many categories.

In advance of it's move... or not... :doh:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's not just music, it includes all content. Music, TV Series (ie: Battlestar Galactica), basically everything. As a result, Apple is considering pulling out of France completely (computers & all).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

To maintain that 80% market. It's about the money. If I was in their position, I would do the same. What do you guys think this will mean for Apple in the future?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
