After a long and winding debate process, it seems Apple Corps is going to take some action to protect its brand name and trademarks. A spokesperson of Apple Corps, the record label owned by the surviving Beatles and the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison, declared that Apple Corps is going to start to sell music online. He did not disclose the specific date, none which music will be used, but he did say that there are a lot of projects that Apple are working on at the moment. While at the same time Apple Computer is involving in a long-running law issue.

Last year, Yoko Ono Lennon tried to sell some John Lennon's solo material online, which was not included in the Apple Computer's iTunes. Apple Corps wanted to take a similar stance, though the announcement made during legal proceedings in London last week, could be part of an effort to pressure Apple Computer into a settlement.

Anyway, we only wish that, since Michael Jackson is on the verge of selling his share of the Beatles' legacy to Sony, we hope that the fab four's music doesn't end up as a Sony Connect exclusive.
