After hearing this:

"Apple Computer is allowed to use their trademark on "goods or services...used to reproduce, run, play or otherwise deliver such content," provided that they don't distribute it on physical media."

I am wondering who will prevail in the lawsuit.

    The company is also instrumental in continuing The Beatles' popularity.

    So boycotting the iTunes store is part of that plan?

    This is whole debacle is about nothing more than Apple Corps trying to grab more money. Aren't the Beatles rich enough already?

    Guys, let it go.

    Artists always make me laugh once they're rich and powerful. They all just get greedy in the end.

    What a joke. Apple Records last real contribution was 35 years ago! No one that uses iTunes or an Apple computer these days would ever confuse the two - in fact I would put a wager saying that no-one could even name another company named Apple.

    The name Apple is as ubiquitous as the color green. It is also more likely associated with the computer company than the small measly label and company that the Beatles founded 40 years ago. How sad that these people who have more money than GOD would take this to court. What ever happened to common sense.

    Copyright is completely out of control in this country. Apple records should have to actually produce new products to justify its company name.
