[Trombone-l] Apple Responds

[David OLIVER]

A friend in Vegas has recently told me that Apple Computers was allowed to 
use the Apple name (by the Beatles Apple Records, etc.) as long as they 
didn't get into the music business. Apple Computers may be violating that 
original agreement with the iPod, downloads, etc.

Apple Records originally had many other divisions (Apple Electronics, etc.). 
The other non-music parts of Apple were shut down after a short time though.

The history of Apple is mainly a history of lawsuits almost since it all was 
started by the Beatles - just read the book about the group Badfinger. I 
think there may have even been a suit about McCartney's first solo album.
