Apple vs. Apple
 Anyone want to weigh in on this topic? It's a little lighter than the other topics. It could be fun. My opinion. It's a different logo. Apple Corps doesn't have a case. Just because Apple Computer settled out of court in 1991 doesn't mean they would have lost. Besides, Steve Jobs should just buy Apple Corps and be done with it. I know that Neil Aspinal is still very close with the Beatles' widows and the surviving Beatles, and I wish them well, but frankly, they would be better served by an alliance with iTunes than attemting to re-invent that particular wheel. |

And I agree with you. It was always a silly idea goin' after the macintosh/apple when they started doin' the music thing.

Money-grubbing. Another example of how trademark/copyright laws are so anti-freemarket.

Apple Corps (beatles empire) keeps tryin' to sue Apple (macintosh) because they think that Apple's iTunes/Music Store is too similar to what Apple Corps does. The irony is I'm pretty sure that Steve Jobs is a great admirer of the Beatles, and probably named his company after Apple Corps.
