The real problem here that most readers won't understand is the difference between European civil law and the British/American Common Law systems. Norway subscribes to the Scandinavian variety of continental civil law and has very strong consumer protection laws. Standard EULAs written for US companies and consumers are often in violation of even the basic rights Norwegian consumers enjoy. If Apple wants to continue selling to Norwegian customers it has to obey and abide by Norwegian law. As some have suggested Apple could just pull the plug - however these rights are often the results of common European views and conventions. So most European nations will have similar concerns when they begin looking at the EULA.
