Cast your mind back to somewhere between 2006 and 2009. Your iPod is connected to your computer, and you're loading some music that you got from somewhere besides iTunes. When you try to sync the music to your iPod, you see an error message saying you must perform a factory reset. After restarting, your non-iTunes tracks have vanished!
This scenario is at the heart of an antitrust lawsuit against Apple that's currently going down in the court room. The plaintiffs in the class-action suit claim that Apple used its dominant position in the market to build a monopoly and restrict competition from other digital music sellers. Plaintiffs are asking for $350 million in compensation, which the Wall Street Journal notes could triple under antitrust laws.
