Sony and Apple Say There's No Beatles On iTunes Deal
Yesterday's breaking news of the Beatles coming to iTunes seems to sadly have been bogus, despite being reported on by major British papers like the 'Telegraph.' The story was attributed to the always ambiguous "unnamed sources" and now it's seeming as though those sources got it wrong, as it's being denied by people on both sides of the story.Sony/ATV Music Publishing is the group that owns the rights to much of the Beatles catalog and a spokesman from there has called the reports "untrue." For its part Apple, creator and owner of iTunes, has similarly debunked the story, saying: "This is not news nor is it a scoop."
That seems to be the end of that, but neither side denied that such a deal is possible in the future ... so don't stop hoping.
