Remember the Beatles? They were famous a long time ago and they started a record company called Apple Records. The record label also signed a handful of other artists, including John Tavener, Ravi Shankar and James Taylor. In other words, it’s not a well-known record label. Now they’re trying to sue Apple Computer, I bet you’ve heard of them, because they claim that the iTunes music store infringes their trademark, a nice juicy green apple. The record company is run by former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison. They obviously don’t have a clue about the modern world at all. Instead of suing their world-class rival they would have done better to open up a rival online music store called Apple Tunes or something. They might then have had a chance of actually selling some of the music that they’re so precious about.

Good link.
You are an idiot. Apple computers and The Beatles Apple signed a contract in the 80’s that Apple computers would never use their name “Apple” to get involved with any music outlets. Now they have and unfortunately the Beatles Apple has every right to sue Apple computers. and why would the Beatles open up their own online music service? Apple records does nothing now a days but put a stamp on Beatles CD’s. Other than that I don’t believe it is that active. You are an idiot!
Sorry Paul, didn’t mean to upset you.
