the beatles sue apple

apple corps, the beatles' record label, is suing apple computer at london's high court over the use of the apple logo and name. apple corps, founded in 1968 by the beatles and now owned by paul mccartney, ringo starr and the widows of john lennon and george harrison, already sued apple in 1989, resulting in the 1991 agreement that apple would not enter the music business. however apple launched the ipod, its famous portable music player, in 2001. itunes, apple's online music store, opened two years later and today sells about 3,000,000 songs every day. apple corps now says apple is violating their 1991 agreement.
guess the fab four have a point here.
