In Reply to: Apple Meets the Beatles? We'll Find Out Superbowl Sunday posted by LWR on January 20, 2007 at 05:55:55:
If a Beatles/Apple agreement is a fact, it is very reasonable to think that it may be linked to a settlement of long standing issues between the 2 entities. By all accounts, the Beatles management has a strong argument and case. Could well be that Apple does not make anything from the sale of Beatles tunes.... BUT, I wonder how much incremental traffic and associated downloads will result from the the attention- most of which should flow to Apple's bottom line.It could also be another smokescreen to deflect additional scrutiny from the expanding Apple/Jobs/Option probe. With a 6mos+ introduction pipeline for the iPhone, it should be obvious that the timeing of the annoucement was influenced by the probe. When attention is focused on the scandle, the stock price declines. When Apple can focus attention on other issues, the stock price rises.
Even if Apple does not receive meaningfull direct revenue from the sale of Beatles tunes, support of the stock price does in a sense generate wealth for the company.
Best,
Ross
