	Apple Corps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apple Corps Ltd. is a multi-armed multimedia corporation, founded in January 1968 by British rock band The Beatles, to replace their earlier company Beatles Ltd. and to form a conglomerate.
		Apple's headquarters, in the late-1960s, was at 3 Savile Row in London, known as the Apple Building, which was also home to the Apple Studio.
		Apple Publishing Ltd was also used as a publishing stop-gap by George Harrison and Ringo Starr, as they sought to shift control of their own songs away from Northern Songs, in which their status was little more than paid writers.

		The most recent showdown between Apple Corps and Apple Computer was in 1991, when Apple Corps claimed that Apple Computers' development of MIDI control software (used by musicians in conjunction with MIDI-compatible musical instruments) violated the terms of an earlier arrangement.

		Apple Corps' attorney Geoffrey Vos told the judge hearing the case that "permanent downloads are the new CDs." He demonstrated the iTunes Music Store in court to show how often the Apple logo is displayed.

		Apple Corps, which is owned by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, argued that the software giant's use of an apple logo "in connection with musical content" violated a 1991 agreement between the two companies, which established strict "field of use" guidelines for the shared, produce-inspired logos.
		Geoffrey Vos Q.C., Apple Corps' lawyer, took issue with the ruling, saying to call iTunes simply an electronic device was a "perversion" of the constraints laid down in the respective empires' agreement.
		While a spokesman for Apple Corps stayed mum on a partnership with their courtroom adversaries, testimony from Neil Aspinall, managing director of the label and former Beatles road manager, indicated that the band was prepping their entire catalog for online sales, though he would not say whether the iTunes was in the running.

	IGM: Apple Corps "Greedy"
		This is the third time Apple Corps has taken Apple Computer to court, and the current case rests on Apple (Corps') allegation that the 1989 Apple-Apple agreement bound Cupertino to stay right out of the music business.
		While I agree that Apple Computer probably violated their agreement, it does seem awfully self serving for AppleCorp to either stand in the way of, or ride the coattails of, the company that is primarily responsible for shaping the future of music sales.
		If Apple Corps were dissolved tomorrow, the royalties could be paid directly to Macca, Ringo, and the Lennon and Harrison estates, and nobody would be any worse off except a bunch of litigious jackasses who have been sucking the Beatle teat for the last 35 years.
