Finally! Some Sanity!

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Beatles lose Apple court battle: "Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the families of George Harrison and John Lennon control the Apple Corps label.

They claimed the US firm broke a deal aimed at ensuring there would not be two Apples in the music industry.

But Mr Justice Anthony Mann ruled that the computer company used the Apple logo in association with its store, not the music, and so was not in breach.

The ruling means iPods and iTunes will still be able to carry the Apple name and logo."


...and the Beatles have to pick up Apple's legal fees! brilliant! Finally some common sense in this silly debate that has seen the Beatles try to extract money out of Apple's decades of success for the most flippant of reasons.
