Bluebeat, says their website, ‘transmits simulated live musical performances’. They use ‘psycho-acoustic simulation’ to reproduce the sound, and so they are exempt from the same rights restrictions that have kept the Beatles and AC/DC out of the iTunes catalogues for all these years. EMI and other record companies, not surprisingly, disagree, and are suing Bluebeat, [...]

You’ve got to marvel at BlueBeat’s chutzpah. The music site that quickly attracted an EMI lawsuit this week for selling Beatles tracks for $0.25-a-pop , even though The Fab Four hasn’t yet authorised online sale, has indeed now been ordered by an LA judge to stop selling those songs and others.

It's a familiar story - guy chases his dog in the desert, trips on a rabbit hole, wakes up in a parallel universe where the Beatles Never Broke Up , steals a cassette tape and brings it back. It's an entertaining backstory to what is actually a very good mash up - do check out the album - I'm quite impressed.

A website offering unauthorised downloads of The Beatles music has been handed a lawsuit by EMI but it is bizarrely claiming it has rights to the music it is offering. Bluebeat, which offers an alternative to digital radio, had been pretty much under everyone's musical radar until earlier this week when it was found that the entire archive of The Beatles were available to download on the site. Although...
