Beatles sue Apple over iTunes

The Beatles' record label Apple Corps is suing Apple computers over the use of the Apple name and logo to promote music products.
The Apple Corps label says Apple computers' online music store iTunes - which charges people to download music from the internet - is in breach of a 1991 agreement between the two companies.

The London-based record firm, owned by Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison, has begun legal proceedings in the High Court.

It is not the first time the two companies have been involved in a legal wrangle, since Apple computers was founded in 1977.

This time Apple Corps is seeking damages and an injunction to enforce the terms of the deal.
