The news we posted this a.m. about a possible lawsuit by the Beatles against Apple has now been confirmed. Here's a statement issued by the Beatles today:
APPLE CORPS LTD TODAY RELEASED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT
"Apple Corps Ltd, the company owned by Mrs Lennon, Sir Paul McCartney,
Richard Starkey and the Estate of George Harrison confirms that legal proceedings
were commenced on 4th July in the High Court, Chancery Division, in London
against Apple Computer Inc, seeking damages and an injunction to enforce the terms
of an agreement made in 1991. The Agreement was concerned with the future use
of the name "Apple" and use of the companies' respective well known logos of
apples. Specifically complaint is made over the use by Apple Computer of the
word "Apple" and apple logos in conjunction with its new application for
down-loading pre-recorded music from the Internet."
