I don’t think Apple will close the French iTunes store.

I have seen an argument, floating on the web somewhere that I can’t find right now, that Apple is already complying with the new law by allowing people to burn copies of purchased music and then rip it free of DRM. The question is whether this meets the French requirement of being easy/convenient.

I also think that Apple could easily comply by licensing the DRM so that iTunes purchased music could play on any player whose manufacturer had licensed Apple’s DRM. This would open up iTunes without removing the DRM that the record labels are still requiring.
