As recently as last fall,
Yoko Ono said The Beatles' songs would finally be available in the iTunes Store -- only to be quickly shot down by EMI, which licenses the band's material. Now, she is squashing any hopes that we'll ever be able to download recordings by the Fab Four in Apple's store. According to a Reuters report on Yahoo! News, Ono
said that you Beatlemaniacs shouldn't "hold your breath" for an agreement between Apple Corps, which owns The Beatles music, and Apple, which dominates the digital music landscape. She went on to say, "There's just an element that we're not very happy about, as people. We are holding out." If the past few years are any indication, the
iTunes confirmation and denial rollercoaster is never going to end. [From:
