For over two years, Norway Consumer Ombudsman Bjorn Erik Thon has been at odds with Apple over the company's use of FairPlay DRM which restricts iTunes-purchased music to iPods only.
Following last month's decision by Apple however, to move all its music to DRM-free (albeit some at a higher price), Thon has said he will drop his complaint against the iTunes store and Apple.
"We have no reason to pursue them anymore," he added.
The iTunes store is set to go DRM-free by the end of April, and the tracks will be in AAC form, opening up the music to most media players on the market, not only iPods.
