The multimillionaire Beatles are trying it on in order to become multimultimillionaires.<BR/><BR/>And this has bugger all to do with musicians - The Beatles are a leisure industry brand and, in case you haven't noticed, it's their record label which is bringing the case.<BR/><BR/>Of course it's about people assuming there's an connection between the two - that's the only possible basis for the Beatles having an objection to the use of what is, after all, an English noun for a totally different product.<BR/><BR/>When you say Jobs would "all but kill them", do you suppose he would send someone round to break a few bones, or were you picturing him hanging them from hooks in a freezer at 1, Infinite Loop?Simon Hayes Budgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084524317888577404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-1143829245774198142006-03-31T18:20:00.000+00:002006-03-31T18:20:00.000+00:00"It's hard to see why The Beatles are wasting thei..."It's hard to see why The Beatles are wasting their time on this (their money, of course, they have so much of, frittering it away on lawyers is not a problem for them.) Nobody thinks that iTunes is anything to do with them. They would be hard pressed to find any evidence that anyone assumes Steve Jobs is behind their back catalogue and a few Mary Hopkins records. They should just let it go."<BR/><BR/>ehm why are they wasting their time on it? Because the people at Apple computers have broken the agreement numerous times. It's not about what people assume about the connections between the tow, it's about Apple Computers committing a CRIME by breaking the ruling AGAIN! If Apple corp broke the agreement and started releasing Beatles computers you can sure as hell bet that Steve Jobs would all but kill them. <BR/><BR/>Quite frankly I'm shocked that No Rock'n'Roll Fun are siding with the evil empire on this and not with the musicianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
