Apple statement Nov 16
Speculations over the Nov 16 Apple statement have been running high. Many want to know what's going on. There was hope for the iTunes headline for some. iTunes moving to cloud-based, online services was one guess. A full headline of the iOS 4.2 was what others though the iTunes announcement would be. Almost no theories, until The Beatles catalog appeared on the iTunes store, included this possibility. The Beatles catalog did precisely what normally happens when ne music becomes accessible. Generally there’s a half hour delay between the release and the announcement.
Statement from iTunes anticipating seven years
A 7 year dispute has been going through for Apple right now. Beatle's parent corporation, Apple Corp., is the other business within the dispute. The dispute was settled in 2007. This was all after 30 years of debating over it. When that dispute was settled in 2007, Steve Jobs said “We love the Beatles, and it has been painful being at odds with them over these trademarks. It feels good to resolve this in a good manner.” The Beatles music has not been available for purchase legally. Also, the full catalog of The Beatles music being available for legal purchase is really exciting as iTunes is the 1st place to complete it.
