It looks like a bit of a rough road for Apple (Computer) as they continue their surge forward into the music industry with our favorite device, the wildly successful iPod, and the iTunes Music Store. It seems they have yet again raised the ire of Apple (Records), the Beatle's label, as this edging into the music industry that Apple (Computer) is doing may be in violation of an early-80's agreement between the two companies which stated that Apple (Computer) would not create products that could be considered particularly music-related. (It is because of this agreement that, while Apple computers today have audio support, none since the mid-80's have contained true music synthesizer hardware.) Have a look at this DotMusic.com article for more info.
At least, one thing the two companies do seem to see eye to eye on is the effective use of their internal legal departments.
