Apple Stiffed By McCartney?

[HardOCP News]

Apple made such a big deal about Paul McCartney’s music coming to iTunes, they even went as far as issuing a press release to let everyone know about the deal. Now, it looks like Apple is the only company right now that doesn’t have his music. That has to be embarrassing. Makes you wonder about the upcoming Beatles catalog of music and how that will play out.

On Tuesday, however, some or all of McCartney's backlist went live on Napster LLCs' Napster, RealNetworks Inc.'s Rhapsody, Viacom International Inc.'s Urge, and Microsoft Corp.'s Zune Marketplace. Rhapsody, a monthly subscription service, had all 25 McCartney albums on its site for real-time streaming, and was also selling tracks for its usual US$0.89 each.

Doesn't Michael Jackson own most of the Beatles catalog?

Paul McCartney != The Beatles.

"Paul McCartney's full catalog of 25 solo albums will be available for the first time digitally on iTunes later this month."
