haha, its always the same people who first post on news thats bad for apple. apple sucks, especially the iPod heh, thought it was about time to let this pic resurface... picture courtesy of punx777's photobucket

I'm No Fan of Apple Products, but I think that the Beatles are going way out on a boat for this one. 1. Apple did pay 26mil and agree not to get into the music business in 91' but the name on the program is iTunes. The Beatles are just plain Greedy and should be glad with the 26mil from before. If I were Apple I would Counter Sue for my 26mil back....Besides I don't like out of court settlements.Apple iTunes does not sound like Apple Corps. Lets Get it ON, I don't Care who wins, but do like a good fight!

but itunes is owned by apple that paid to & agreed to the beatles' conditions & apple broke that agreement!

Since "Apple" itself is a generic term, that can't be grounds for any action. Now back in the day, there might have been some confusion about which Apple is which. Nowadays, that won't hardly be any problem... hardly anyone knows who Apple Corps. Ltd. the music firm is. But I'll quickly register the following trade names: IBM Music, Intel Records, AMD Grammophone, Digital Download Music, Internet Recording Company, etc. etc. just to be sure... C-A-$-H baby! PS wasn't it Micheal Jackson who owned all that Beatles stuff? Now there's somebody with huge legal expenses and a dwindling bank account....

"The Beatles are just plain Greedy" Well J Lennon is dead since 1980 and G harrison only recently (2001) The real people behind this are McCartney and his monoloply of greedy money hungrgy individuals. Need a site to download music zillions cheaper than itunes? Check out http://www.mp3search.ru/

Tell that to Lindows, err I mean Linspire, who was forced to change their name because it was similar to Windows, not the exact name like Apple is. Microsoft has sent many cease and desist letters over the use of the generic term Windows. One of my favorite utilities, Windows Commander http://www.ghisler.com was forced to change their name to Total Commander or risk a lawsuit. Anyone could have seen this coming. The Apple record label has always been protective of their trademark and Apple computer had previously been sued over the name years ago and had agreed never to enter the music business. They should have worked out an agreement in advance instead of breaking an agreement they had already signed. That's just asking for trouble.

First off , can we concetrate on what the article is talking about and leave all you Apple bashing / hating asses personal feelings about Apple at the door. Why do I get the feeling if this article was about your lord and savior Microsh!t err Microsoft you'd all be pissing and whining its the other companies fault and leave MS alone. anyway, Apple Computer, Inc does have a habit of saying one thing and then turning around and doing another. Apple Computer got outta hot water on this issue somewhat easy the first time around but then turns around figuring wtf its been a decade or so lets jump into the Music business w/o first checking to see IF the first lawsuit's agreement was still in effect. Bad management / legal on Apple's accord. Steve Jobs should had Apple's lawyers going over that settlement with a fine tooth comb before launching the company into the music business.

It's not a name issue at this point. It's a breach of contract on Apple Computer's part. They made a settlement agreement, then failed to honor it. They absolutly deserve to loose by every letter of the law. End of story.

As one who has been sued by Apple Corp. LTD,I can tell you it has nothing to do with greed at all.If you own a service mark and you don't defend it,you can loose it."Use it or loose it".Have you ever called a tissue a ****** or do you call it a tissue? Being litidous is not the same thing as "Greedy".

Oops,my bad,it's "litigious".I had a bad "Flashback" just thinking about it.
