Why they hate? Where is this rooted?
That a former DJ created mix beats paid royalties via the original production label for NWA and created a NEW Genre of Rap music that became the norm and highlighted a world many well to do had no IDEA about?
That a production music mogul partnered with Dre & Lamar and created good quality headphones that created a marketing GENIUS the globe over because well B&W/B&O/BOSE etc couldn't dream of climbing from start up that fast?
Sincerely where is the hate coming from.
This is a debt Apple incurred. I recall this case that lingered prior to Apple purchasing Beats Inc. I also recall the disbandment from Monster Inc from Beats just prior to this as well.
This is just the first decision which means it could be contested. I honestly don't think it'll hurt either nor Apple one small bit.
