Latest digital Beatles news

First, the news emerged that BlueBeat.com was streaming and selling the Beatles' catalogue, then EMI moved to sue the online music site, and now it's come out that the Beatles in Stereo remastered collection will be available for purchase (legally, through EMI) on a USB drive in early December.

Here's an interesting detail that the Rolling Stone article mentions:
According to the news section at the BlueBeat site, the Website has been streaming the Beatles catalog since September 16th, just one week after the remasters were released.

Parting thought: Engaging in activities that invite the wrath of the Beatles juggernaut (i.e., the business interests behind the juggernaut) is usually foolhardy and self-defeating.
