Thus the falling out happened. When you’re worth £725 million I don’t think money comes in to it.

I don’t disagree that there were some underlying causes of Apple not being allowed to sell the Beatles music, but if $400 million was enough to sway their thinking I would say that money had a big part of it.

What’s the reasoning that AC/DC isn’t on there? I would probably say it is a money issue with them as well.

Where did you get that from? It was because The Beatles own the Apple trademark from their own record company. But Apple computers and The Beatles came to an agreement that they’d let Apple computers use it as long as they stayed out of the music industry. Of course they then released the iPod and iTunes and The Beatles weren’t happy as they were breaking their agreement. Then there was a court case in which the courts said The Beatles’ record label was no longer active.

Secondly, Apple got a deal when you take into consideration the falling dollar value and current currency exchanges verses the standing of the British Pound (which is worth two of our dollars) so Sir Paul only really made half as much as he should have on the final transaction(s). Hey that’s the music business for you.

The money is “only worth half as much” to the seller is point here, folks but I guess almost anything beats “a blank” when your paying lawyer fees and trying your best to offset the expenditures.

So much for the terms ” for better or worst, till the fight for money do us part”. This is truly messed up but these are the times in which we live.

Just my dimes worth, bye.

that price is rather low considering the genius it took to create them over the span of a decade.

and the long term earning potential of that catalog is crazy, i suspect apple will make billions from it within the next few years.

its a shame though, that lunatic Michael Jackson will be collecting money from this deal.

The long time earning potential could be pretty big, although most die-hard Beatles fans already have records, casette tapes, and CD’s. It should be interesting to see how well they sell.

I thought that was kinda strange, too.

The Beatles wouldn’t allow it for some reason, and it appears that they were holding out for some big money.
