After more than 10 years that Apple has being trying to get the Beattles on their catalog of ITunes, The record company EMI has agreed that theirs song can be download by everyone today.
Everyone is really happy that the ‘Fab Four’ are now part of the digital technology. Ringo has said that he is glad that no one will ask him about when they’ll be on ITunes anymore.
It was a difficult process, because The Beatles has a company called Apple Corps, so they have being fighting in court with Apple’s Owner Steven Jobs for the name, the past 30 years. Everything was so much easy when apple was just a fruit.
The widows of John and George, didn’t want the songs to be released digitaly, they thought that with this, copy the songs will be easier. But Emi thought that they misunderstood what technology could do for them. Besides, meanwhile, everyone that buys the beatles’s Cds, would rip them and illegally share them online ( wooohooo).
For this to happened, EMI will have to pay Paul, Ringo, and the two widows a lot of money. Actually, in 2011, Itunes will be the only online place to buy Beatles songs.
Their prices are not that bad, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is priced at £10.99 and the entire catalog is price at 125 dollars.
The important thing here is that this still shows that the beatles are the most important band of all times, not only because people were desperate for download them on a legal way, but also because their songs are already being in the charts of ITunes only after a few hours that their songs are being released.
I know this has not relation with what i'm studing, sorry, but it's the beattles! everything about them it's relevant!
