The Beatles and Their Antipiracy Request

Since then the big record label has triumphed in court against the US site and all the matter is now water under the bridge but another issue is yet to be cleared – what exactly keeps The Beatles music unavailable over the big net? ArsTechnica has took on answering this question – founded in January 1968 by The Beatles themselves, Apple Corps Ltd.
