Hello again Chris!

This isn't my area; I understand vaguely that once some IP right has been
licensed a matter tends to be governed by competition law to the exclusion
of laws regarding the free movement of goods. Is this *always* the case,
or can what iTunes is doing be challenged under Article 28 of the Treaty,
as a quantitative restriction on exports?
