I am not a lawyer, but Apple has plenty of them on staff who helped think up ways around the Beatles settlement, and prepared a legal argument before whatever remnants of the Beatles (original members + benefactors of deceased) opened up a new lawsuit over iTunes, etc. From: http://www.legalzoom.com/articles/article_content/article11325.html The computer giant agreed that although it may be involved in digital music, it would not package, sell or distribute any physical music materials, such as CDs. Or it could be that Apple Corps just wants a slice of the digital music pie on their own terms, instead of Apple Computer's terms. Sue, then settle on a deal. *shrug* -- Andrew S.
