The Law Blog ran an item earlier this week on Apple v. Apple, the battle between the Beatles’ recording company and the computer maker. Today WSJ.com has a story from The Wall Street Journal’s Aaron Patrick on today’s courtroom proceedings in London. The Beatles’ Apple Corps asked the court to order Apple Computer to stop using the Apple logo and name to promote its iTunes music store.
In what was clearly the high point of yesterday’s session, Apple Corps’ lawyer, Geoffrey Vos, downloaded and played a song to demonstrate how iTunes worked. The song? “Le Freak,” by ’70s band Chic.
