Don't Get Your Hopes Up Over Beatles on iTunes
Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the joint venture owned by Sony and singer Michael Jackson, has thrown cold water on newspaper stories out of London that The Beatles catalog would soon be available on iTunes. A spokeswoman for Sony/ATV Music Publishing told CNET News.com that the reports are "untrue."
Sony/ATV is a pretty good source. While EMI Group owns the recording rights to The Beatles catalog, Sony and Jackson own the rights to the vast majority of the catalog's publishing rights. Had a deal been cut, Sony/ATV would "absolutely be informed," the Sony/ATV spokeswoman said.
At the same time, Billboard reported that Apple denied the story. Of course, this doesn't mean a deal won't still be made.

wasnt there a lawsuit against itunes stating that it wasnt paying labels there fair share of profits this year |

It's just a matter of hammering out the details -- honestly why WOULDN'T you want to publish your music on one of the top sources of music in the world? It'd be like saying Best Buy isn't selling Beatles albums....its obviously not at the choice of the musicians (unless Paul indeed is looking for some more $$$$). It'll eventually happen..... |
