Attempt To "Digitalize" Beatles Goes Sour

Posted by timothy on from the when-you're-64-and-probably-not-even-then dept.

An anonymous reader points to this article at exclaim.ca, which begins "Just when Beatles fans thought the band were finally going digital, the Norwegian national broadcaster has been forced to call off the deal. Broadcasting company NRK has had to remove a series of 212 podcasts, each of which featured a different Beatles song and would have effectively allowed fans to legally download the entire Fab Four catalogue for free."

    Recently, Paul McCartney said negotiations to get the Fab Four onto iTunes had âoestalled,â leaving some fans more than a little ticked that they still have to listen to the band the old-fashioned way.

    What's "the old-fashioned way"? Bit-Torrent?

    at a concert you dolt.
