- Create 15y agoI was paying attention, and am paying attention. What you are referring to, in plain terms, is that Apple Inc. had more money than Apple Corp, meaning that it can afford to do whatever it wishes to do. (don't misunderstand: I have no empathy for the record industry either).
- Locke1689 15y agoAre you seriously arguing that The Beatles are the underdog in this scenario? Also, "Apple Inc. had more money than Apple Corp, meaning that it can afford to do whatever it wishes to do" implies there was something improper, which is clearly not the case. It's not like Apple, Inc. bribed the courts to force Apple Corp. to hand over their trademark; Apple, Inc. reportedly paid as much as $500 million to Apple Corp. to control the trademark. Sounds like the real winner was Apple Corp.
