THE BEATLES Eight Days A Week (2016)

A brief clip from Ron Howard’s upcoming documentary on The Beatles’ touring years, 1962-1966. There’s a website, of course, www.thebeatleseightdaysaweek.com. Note The Beatles’ company logo… which now publicly uses the corporate name, “Apple Corps.” This began after a series of lawsuits and settlements with Steve Jobs’ Apple Inc., which – believe it or not – resulted in The Beatles now having to license the Granny Smith apple logo from Apple Inc. in order to use it. The negotiations were kept secret, but the prevailing theory is that The Beatles basically sold the trademark to Jobs after endless litigation, and now just pay a fee for its continued use. Aren’t you glad you don’t have rich people problems?
