@vane they eventually came to a settlement in 2008 I think, which is why you can get The Beatles on iTunes now (they weren't there before 2010).

Actually, the American computer manufacturer's name was Apple Computer Inc. Then they settled the naming issue with the British Apple corp. and from then on they became Apple Inc.

@ethernetzero Further (at least in America), it’s not considered a trademark issue if you are in different enough industries that it’s felt there shouldn’t be any confusion. Which is why things were good...up until the iTunes store.
