Judge Blocks Music Sites from Selling Beatles Tunes
November 7, 2009
Boston (DbTechNo) - A judge has blocked BlueBeat.com and Basebeat.com from selling Beatles tracks online for 25 cents a download because of copyright infringement.
U.S. District Judge John F. Walter is the judge at the center of this case, and has made the decision to stop the sites from selling not only songs from the Beatles but from other artists also.
EMI had sued for an injunction earlier in the week to stop the music downloads and the judge granted their request pending further investigation.
EMI insists that the music sites in question here infringed on their own copyrights of songs from various artists not just the Beatles.
Other songs offered for download are from bands including: the Beastie Boys, Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, and Smashing Pumpkins.
A November 20th court date has been scheduled for BlueBeat officials to appear in court.
