Elizabeth, you bring up a good point.I think the Beatles have seen this court case coming for a long time and are waiting to see how it plays out,don't be surprised if you see the Beatles songs on iTunes after all is said and done.Also I think Jackson would love to see the Beatles songs online but I think the Beatles have blocked it until they get what they want.

Uh, Curt... if the Beatles Apple corp. were "all about music," they should provide people with an outlet to obtain their music online legally. A question, though; is Badfinger available on iTunes? They're another Apple Corp. band. If they are, then I suspect this non-availability of Beatles music on iTunes is more a problem with Sony Music Publishing/Michael Jackson than with Apple Corp. Of course, couldn't Michael Jackson need some more money right about now?

the Beatles Apple company is all about music,dont you get it? Apple computer stole their name not the other way around and the Beatles won in court and it was ordered that apple computer was not to have anything to do with music.The Beatles are right all the way to the bank !!!

same here... i've actually been following this story for the past couple of years as the battle has unfolded... it's interesting stuff. Had the Beatles allowed their songs to go on iTunes they would have recieved the profit from my purchases of Rubber Soul, Revolver, White Album, Maagical Mystery Tour... their loss!

Same goes for Metallica. Good going guys - sue your fans for downloading your music for free, then don't offer downloads for sale... Now the only place you can find Metallica mp3s is free file-sharing sites. Lars, you are BRILLIANT!
