Beatles Online?
Pollstar —
Considering EMI and Apple Corp. has yet to license any of the Fab Four tracks for downloading on iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody or Amazon MP3, the band’s sudden appearance on a lesser-known site such as BlueBeat seems almost preposterous. But there it is, the entire Beatles catalog, including the recently issued remasters, with prices starting at $3.00 and ranging as high as $4.25. How do they do it? We honestly don’t know, but an Apple Corp. spokeswoman told Wired she didn’t think the site had permission to sell Beatles downloads. According to Wired , a similar inquiry put to EMI has yet to elicit a response. ...

Bluebeat’s Psychoacoustic Explanation
Pollstar —
Earlier this week EMI announced it is suing Bluebeat for selling Beatles songs online without the proper licensing. At this time no online music service, including iTunes, Napster or Amazon MP3, is authorized to sell Beatles downloads.

Now Bluebeat says it doesn’t need permission to sell the Beatles tracks because … (wait for it) … The company already owns the ...

Website Selling Beatles Catalog Shut Down After Court Ruling
Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily —
A federal court has issued a preliminary injunction against the digital music vendor Bluebeat after the site offered up high-quality MP3s of the Beatles’ catalog without permission. According to the Los Angeles Times, the judge overseeing the case, which came after EMI Music and Apple Corps. issued a copyright infringement lawsuit against Bluebeat, said there was no distinct difference between the Beatles’ recordings and the “psychoacoustic simulations” that Bluebeat claims they added to the music that would have allowed them by a legal loophole to sell the Beatles catalog ...
