The Beatles Remastered
US website Bluebeat.com is currently streaming and selling the complete Beatles’ catalogue online, but for just how long one has yet to see.
The site is offering the recently digitally remastered Beatles albums as free streams for the sites’ users and is charging 25 cents (15p) for individual tracks each.
EMI and Apple Corps lawyers must be knocking down some doors right now as the blind sided companies have blocked any kind of online sale of Beatles music in the past.
A source says that when EMI was contacted about the catalogue which was still available live today when last checked they said: “We are looking into it”
A spokesperson for Apple Corps reportedly told Wired.com that she didn’t think BlueBeat.com had permission to sell The Beatles’ music.
The Beatles songs are available for sale among hundreds of other artists’ tracks,with the individual albums labeled as “remastered”.
Stay tuned for for the conclusion of today’s WTF music story coming to a law office near you soon.
UPDATE:
British music giant EMI on Wednesday confirmed it is suing a California online music service that streams and digitally delivers Beatles songs to users.
EMI filed suit Tuesday in a US district court in Los Angeles, accusing Bluebeat.com of copyright infringement and demanding that Beatles music be removed from the website’s playlists.
EMI owns the rights to Beatles recordings and collaborates with Apple Corps on distribution of the music.

I don’t have time to read all the articles here right now, I found this site when looking for something else on Google, but I’ve bookmarked your homepage and will visit again real soon to see the latest. Keep up the great work! Beyonce and Jay-Z are such a inspiration to me. I really respect both of them for keeping it together through it all. And Jay-Z and Alicia Keys singing Empire State of Mind at the World Series was awesome! Did you see it? I love reading other sites my favorite singer, Beyonce K.
