The Beatles' Apple Corps Sued Apple Computer

over the iTunes Music Store and iPod according to this Fox News article. We wondered when this shoe would drop. Many over-55 folks will likely remember that The Beatles' company is named Apple Corps and that their now defunct (we think) recording company was called Apple Records. They originally sued Apple Computer in their heyday for using the name "Apple" in an early trademark infringement lawsuit involving commonly-used words. Apple Computer settled with a modest payment and by more or less agreeing that it wasn't a music company. Apple Computer was sued again by The Beatles when speakers were included with their computers when they could play music. Apple Computer again settled for some relatively modest payment. The Beatles, no matter how wealthy and being totally off the main music stage for some time, are back trying to suck on that cash cow's udder once again. We note that it is within their rights to try to do so.
