The iPod uses a DRM-encumbered format. This is the basis for Apple's 
legal troubles in France and Norway. Apple has a dominant position in 
the market and its DRM is excluding competitors.

The issue might be confused by the fact that the iPod is also able to 
play non-DRM MP3 files.

Cheers,
Daniel.
