Apple blocks cheaper UK iPod sales
Apple is threatening legal action against 11 UK e-tailers unless they stop selling iPods imported from outside the UK.
The computer giant has complained to a number of well-known online retailers which were buying iPods in the US – where they sell for £15 less than the UK– and then selling them at a knocked-down price to customers in Blighty.
The undertakings issued by London law firm Bird & Bird and seen by The Register, demand e-tailers stop selling what it described as “Grey iPods” anywhere in Europe.
The Cupertino-based firm also threatened to bring legal action against any e-tailer outfit that “infringes” Apple’s rights.
