"When you hear the name Apple, who do you think of... iPods or The Beatles?"

Uh, well, yeah, that's kind of the POINT. That's what trademark infringement IS, a new company taking away name recognition from an existing company.

I think Apple Corps did an absolutely lousy job making its case, and as such deserved to lose, but I think there was a case to be made.

back in the 80's, Apple Computer signed an agreement with Apple Music stating that they'll never be associated with the music industry. So I can understand Apple Music's dispute.

Funny how things change. Apple Computer never thought it would happen, and look at them now. ;)

To call Apple Records a small time label is a bit of a misnomer. Considering the label belonged to and carried THE greatest act of recorded music, as well as produced other extremely well-known names like James Taylor, Billy Preston, and Badfinger, you must be hiding under a rock with your 50 Cent CD and other hip-hop tunes.

Apple Records holds a big piece of iconic history. I don't know the legalities between the corp vs computer, but evidently The Beatles felt infringed. And judges don't necessarily make the right decisions.
