Apple＇ s iTunes Online Music Store： the Future Copyright Protection Model？
Abstract：Copyright owners cannot control the private copying effectively on the network due to the emergence of P2P technology. As a countermeasure, Apple＇s iTunes online music store comes into being. Since its launch in 2001, by virtue of its original technical protection measures, iTunes has achieved good economic results. ITunes creates an innovative model in copyright protection in the network environment, hut it uses technical means to strengthen the control of copyright works, and therefore, unduly interferes in consumer＇s normal exploitation of musical works. Thus it is not in line with the basic requirement of the future copyright protection model and not an ideal copyright protection model in the network environment.
