More unsourced Beatles/iTunes speculation!
London’s Evening Standard is reporting that the Beatles catalog will be available on iTunes in the coming months, but if you read the story closely there are no sources and the whole thing seems rather … Heather-centric.
The paper ties the agreement to Paul McCartney’s unpleasant divorce from Heather Mills, the final hearing for which, according to the paper, is the week after next.
How McCartney got himself into his current legal zoo is unclear; did he really marry Mills without a clear pre-nuptial agreement? (On the other hand, since Mills is representing herself in the dispute, it seems as if neither have been making sensible legal decisions.)
The rest of the Standard article salivates over the digital value of the Beatles’ catalog on iTunes.

You’re the only person outside of myself that has questioned this story. Congrats! The story says nothing that hasn’t been said for the last year. And of course he’ll use it to pay for his divorce. He’ll use a lot of things. Here’s the link for my story (and I’ll mention you): http://abbeyrd.best.vwh.net/news/308itunesdivorce.html.
