Apple is a facing a new class-action lawsuit charge

It has been reported that Apple is a facing a new class-action lawsuit charged with illegally tying iPods to its iTunes store.

The complaint, filed in Florida in August, has been brought by Florida resident Frederick Black on behalf of all Florida residents who have purchased an iPod or downloaded media from iTunes and faced restrictions.

Apparently Apple is being charged with three formal counts: violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practice Act, attempted monopolisation in violation of the Florida Antitrust Act, and monopolisation in violation of the Florida Antitrust Act.

It’s said that Frederick wants damages in excess of $15,000, a court order awarding treble those damages plus court costs.
