The Beatles, Apple, and iTunes

novus ordo writes "Apple is being sued in London by Apple Corps, owned by the former Beatles and their heirs. This is a third battle over the name 'Apple' in Britain. Apple Corps has previously been awarded $26M by Apple Computer for the use of the name."

    I think what you wrote was somewhat interesting, but I can't read it because of your excessive use of em tags.

    I was severely confused. I had thought for some reason that Apple Computer was the Beatles label. No fucking wonder I couldn't find the Beatles albums at Worst Buy!

    (Pardon me, but there IS no trademark confusion, dilution, etc.)
