Say goodbye to 99 cents a song
What this law does is take power away from Apple and give it to the RIAA (or their European arm). Apple can get out of all of the requirements of the law if the copyright holders (read: RIAA) agree to let them do so. However, the RIAA wants Apple to raise prices per song, to set up a sliding scale so more popular songs cost more money (and no, less popular songs are never going to cost less than they do now). That agreement, needed by Apple, is going to cost them the power to set their own prices for their own store.
