Not even Apple, creator of the hugely popular iTunes could get the band’s permission even though Apple Inc. and Apple Corp. have been in talks about possibly making the deal happen.The Beatles did release their music with an apple however.

And if you caught me on the foul know you would sing me the same song.” More »

Yes folks, after all the bitter back and forth over copyright infringement complete with subsequent make up session/settlement and those persistent rumors of The Fab Four finally coming to iTunes, Apple Corps went left and decided to release their catalog themselves.
