Apple Vs Apple: Beatles lose in the UK

The UK high court has ruled that Apple Computers was not guilty of breaking a 1991 agreement with Apple Corps - the company owned by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison - who had argued that the iTunes music store was in breach of its terms.

In making his ruling the judge said that the apple logo was only used in association with the company's online shop, and not with the music itself, and therefore dismissed the case brought by the Beatles' label.
