Beatles Bite Apple

blamanj writes "Apple Computer, which once got into hot water with the Beatles Apple record label, has been sued once again by the same group. Apple Records says iTunes and the iPod violate the previous agreement." Apple's broke their agreement in the past when speakers were first used with their computers to play music.

I Can't Believe This

As a huge Beatles fan and new Mac user I have to say that this is an outrage. Right now I am embarrassed to say that the Beatles are my favorite music group. iTunes has been out for how long? The iPod has been in production for how long? And only now are they deciding to bring this to court.

This seems like a desperate move to gain money and alienate fans. They have certainly alienated this fan. I can't see myself spending another penny on anything Beatles related, just because of this suit. I hope that others will do the same.

haha, serves them right

For once its someone suing apple over something as retarded as look and feel. Lets remember Apple suing over iMac lookalikes and pulling MacOSX look alike themes.

I am so torn on this. I really hate the Beatles, and I really hate the mac zealots. I have nothing against Apple computers, but they are clearly wrong in this case.

They should have spun off the music end of the business under another name and avoided this whole issue.

Screw Apple Records.

Apple Computer should simply buy out Apple Records to shut these leeches up. No settlements, no wasting time with their incessant, anti-progressive legislation and laws. Just, buy them out.

This is ridiculously too frivilous and an obvious attempt at money, rather than a sincere desire to protect one's business.

If not bought out, Apple Computer could give this bloody company free representation on the iTMS.
