Apple Corps. the Beatles licensing company is again suing Apple computer. They first sued 5 years after Apple Computer was created. They settled with the agreement that Apple would not get into the music business. They sued again when Apple released a music program which was settled as long as Apple did not distribute "creative works" i.e. music. The contract seems to have been worded to cover CDs and cassettes, but not digital downloads. The case is finally going to high court this week.
