“Conversations between Apple and EMI are ongoing and we look forward to the day when we can make the music available digitally. But it’s not tomorrow.”
Looks like The Beatles Rock Band is still gonna be the only (legit) way to snag The Beatles catalog completely digitally, at least until someone kicks EMI in the ass hard enough to make it happen. [FT]
