Beatles to make deal with Apple?

Published Thursday, Nov 30 2006, 09:04 GMT | By David Cribb
The Beatles may be on the verge of making a deal with Apple Computers over the sale of their music on the internet, according to Fortune magazine.

The band's company Apple Corps have had many legal trists with the iTunes company, with the earliest argument dating back to 1976. Earlier this year a court case was won by Apple Computers, after Apple Corps accused them of breaching a trademark law by selling music online.

However, the band's new album Love may be made available on iTunes, with the two companies rumoured to be currently in negotiations. If the deal goes through, the entire Beatles' back-catalogue may also go up for sale on the internet.

However, both parties have declined to confirm the negotiations at this time.
