The Beatles On iTunes

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the help-i-need-some-money dept.

Yesterday Apple put a big old teaser up on their homepage for an unknown announcement to occur today. Speculation ran rampant from the delayed iOS 4.2, to iTunes Streaming to a release of the Beatles catalog on the iTunes store. Well, it was the latter. They have 13 albums on the store now, and a $150 box set. So here's hoping that we get that iPad multitasking yet this November.

    Why would anyone give iTunes and Apple and the Beatles for that matter any more money?

    I have already owned these as albums, tapes and CDs and I am NOT buying them again.

    Okay, so here's what I think... The Beatles music should be public domain. As in, it's owned by society as a whole. We're all familiar with it.

    Two of the Beetles are still alive, so the count-down to when they enter the public domain hasn't even started yet.
