Ok so I just thought of this while I was taking a shower this morning. It seems that is where I do alot of good thinking.
Apple Computer and Apple Corps should sign a deal allowing the Beatles catalog to be put on the ITMS exclusively. Apple Corps would get all of the profits from sales of the songs.
This would allow the ITMS to further cement itself as the market leader in legal online music downloads, Apple Corps would receive a steady stream of income for years to come, and consumers would get what they want ie Beatles music available for purchase online. It's obvious from the McCartney Live 8 songs people will buy.
The only problem I see is if other artists would begin wanting exclusive deals like this one.
What do you all think?
