Unreleased 1963 Beatles Tracks On Sale To Preserve Copyright
Taco Cowboy writes "Back in 1963, the Beatles did some performances for the BBC and other places. The songs were recorded, but never officially released. Now, 50 years later, Apple has packaged all 59 tracks together and put them up for sale on iTunes for $40. The reason? Copyright. The copyright for unreleased works expires 50 years after the works are recorded. By releasing the 59 tracks on iTunes before the end of December, the songs will be protected under copyright law for 20 more years."
I, for one, will not ever be giving another cent to Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney. If you find a way to give to just Ringo, I'm in.
" The reason? Money."
FTFY
No, that's a Pink Floyd song.

It's a good thing they did this. Otherwise, the Beatles would have no incentive to produce new songs.
Please don't type half your post in the subject, it makes your post unreadable. Especially when using alternative browsing methods.
Indeed. As with modern media the subject should be a play on words or shameless pun.
The body of the post should be non sequitur by the paragraph, which leaves the reader baffled as to which medication you are on.

I just love how you statists lash out with names and general calls for confiscation of wealth, but when challenged with facts and reason you just disappear.
Kind of how all dissent is typically silenced and shut down on forums like this one and others.
Face it statist, your position of tyranny and theft is wrong and cannot be justified by a reasonable thinking man. You are petty criminals and nothing more.
Add to that the fact that you are cowards and cannot back up your arguments and positions with logic and reason.
How does it feel statist?
you 100%!
The Internet is a cold, unfeeling place, and does not exist to conform to our ideas of decency. Some of us have come to terms with this :)
