The Beatles’ Apple Corps And EMI Settle Royalty Dispute
Apple Corps., the company representing The Beatles, has settled a £30 million / $59 million royalty dispute with EMI Group. Apple Corps, the company owned by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, said in December 2005 it would sue the record company after negotiations broke down when an audit determined EMI had not been fulfilling the terms of its contract. The settlement could finally pave the way for the famed band’s music to go online.
