What I don't get about the Beatles material is this - what difference does it make if their stuff is available on iTunes? I downloaded the new remasters as soon as they came out, through a bit torrent site. It's all out there free already, if people are willing to dig, at least more popular stuff is.
That seems to be the only good situation, if you are obscure enough that nobody bothers to pirate your stuff online. Once you get big enough for that to happen, I bet profits from legitimate sales drop precipitously.
