WTF? What the hell kind of excuse is this? Is THIS what we've come to? "Oh, well, if I can't download the album digitally I'm not going to buy it at all."

So, for some reason it's impossible for you to BUY the CDs and rip the songs to your MP3 player? Hey, here's a news flash -- you can buy the CDs online, too. Yes, you have to wait a bit for it to be delivered, but if you can't deal with that slight delay that's your problem.]]>Feb 5th 2007 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/Feb 5th 2007 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/Feb 5th 2007 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/Feb 5th 2007 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/Feb 5th 2007 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/
Anyway, the Beatles' albums have been released in about a dozen different formats over the years, with devoted fans rebuying them each time, and no one at Apple Corps seemed to complain about the money. What's the difference here?]]>Feb 5th 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/ It is great that they've settled but this will never change the fact that Steve Jobs just could never come up with an original idea.

I am in a band that sells our music on iTunes - We make a killing from iTunes profits compared to the sales of our physical CDs. Apple takes a very very small cut of the sale, and they have the right to. After all, they are providing the service.

From my experience with Apple, they know how to treat their customers.]]>Feb 5th 2007 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/Feb 5th 2007 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/Feb 5th 2007 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/Feb 5th 2007 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/
That's one of those nail on the head award comments. I swear RIApple whines so much that people are stealing their ideas that it has to be a diversion so no one will notice that they almost never have an original idea.. The idea for every RIAApple product came from somewhere else. I'm not saying they could 'never' come up with an original idea but it's pretty darned rare. ]]>Feb 5th 2007 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/
I'm betting Apple (Computers) paid Apple (Records) a whole lot of cash and the licensing fee is a nominal $1/yr, like Jobs' salary.]]>Feb 5th 2007 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/Feb 5th 2007 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://bohtong.blogspot.com]]>Feb 6th 2007 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/05/beatles-and-apple-inc-finally-settle-up/It's not even featured!?!?!?
