Beatles Bite Apple

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the back-again-for-the-remix dept.

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.

    No Spy Hunter I expect Apple to honor the LEGAL BINDING agreements or get the fuck sued outta them. What part of this do you not understand NIMB-ROD. Apple Corp made an agreement and is simply defending its portion of the agreement. You may not like the agreement, TUFF SHIT. It was made by Apple Computers and will have to be honored by Apple Computer. And yes they may well have to give up this business since they have no legal right to be in the section of business. (THEY AGREED NOT TO ENTER INTO THIS BUSINESS!!) It is really that simple and it is really gonna cost Apple some $$$$ (or if Apple Corp is still willing to be reasonable a % of the business) Dont go bitching about Apple Corp on this one, they are in the right, and the simple fact is, Apple probably should have found a different name rather then sign away these areas, but they did and thats history. Now they must live with it. God Damnit, is it always this way on /. no matter how wrong the local favorite is, the /.'s will just find a way to make the other side wrong. A lot of you people really need to wake the fuck up.

    (CzarChasm) Yeah, the Beatles should STFU. What have they done lately, besides Ringo on that kiddie show? (/CzarChasm)

    Isn't it absurd that a company that hasn't done anything recently other than file lawsuits has a reasonable chance of prevailing in the courts? No, I'm not talking about SCO, who has little chance of winning. Lots of people remember the Beatles but who gives a damn about their former record label? Oh, yeah, the RIAA, I forgot. Funny how it all comes together sometimes. Or maybe not so funny...
