The Beatles Sue Apple Computer?

[brd2887]

I can see it now...

In the near future, any sound produced by any actons (including, but not restricted to, typing, pushing any buttons, opening disk drives, etc) while using a Mac is liable to cause a lawsuit... and consumers who make any sort of noise while eating an apple may also be sued.

in fact... Apple Corps will claim rights to all sound, or any waves for that matter, therefore, sound cannot exist unless they are paid royalties, and all laws of physics involving waves and their properties belong to the company.

just you wait and see...

A Fox News column reports that The Beatles (Apple Corps) are suing Apple Computer over their move into the music arena with the iPod and iTunes Music Store.

Apple Computer and Apple Corps are not strangers and, in fact, have had previous legal settlements over corporate name confusion. In earlier agreements, Apple Computer had agreed to not enter the music industry, and had reportedly paid out a large settlement to Apple Corps.

According to this column, Apple was served legal papers over the past few days over breach of contract.

Apple Corps??? Who's that? Beatles??? Who's that?
