o Apple Computer Wins U.K. High
Court Dispute with Beatles' Record Label
London - Britain's High Court has ruled that Apple
Computer may use its trademark bitten-apple logo in conjunction with
its iTunes Music Store in the U.K., taking the computer firm's side
in a trademark dispute with the Beatles' record label, Apple Corps.
Judge Edward Mann said in his ruling that Apple Computer used the
fruit logo in connection with the store and not with the music sold
within the store, and thus did not breach a 1991 agreement the
company made with the record label not to compete in the music
industry. "I think that the use of the apple logo is a fair and
reasonable use of the mark in connection with the service, which
does not go further and unfairly or unreasonably suggest an
additional association with the creative works themselves," Judge
Mann wrote in his ruling.

o Warner Music
Discloses Class Action Lawsuits Over Digital Price-Fixing
New York - Warner Music Group has disclosed in an SEC
filing that 14 class action lawsuits have been filed against the
company, over alleged price-fixing of digital song downloads amongst
the major labels. Warner Music said in the filing that it "intends
to defend against these lawsuits vigorously." Several months ago,
New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer launched a separate
probe into alleged digital music price-fixing. For its most recent
quarter, Warner Music said digital music sales totaled $90 million
-- nearly three times higher than the same period a year ago -- and
represented 11% of total revenue.

and 100 brands -- such as General Motors, Sony Pictures and Kraft
Foods -- will contribute content to TiVo Product Watch, which is
