Judge Makes BlueBeat Beatles Ban Really Official

BlueBeat claims that it pays royalties to SoundExchange, and that prior to the site's launch in 2004, it entered into confidential agreements with major recording labels, including EMI, which allowed the labels to evaluate if BlueBeat contained copyrighted material. BlueBeat says that the entire Beatles catalogue was on its site during the EMI evaluation but they "made no objection to its inclusion."

EMI denies that BlueBeat has ever paid any royalties for its songs, and charges that the 25-cent MP3 sales offered by the Web site "has the potential to destroy [EMI's] ability to sell, lawfully exploit, or otherwise control their sound recordings" in addition to the relationships EMI has built with licensees and artists.

The two sides were scheduled to meet in court Friday.

Heather Mills shows off false leg for ITV's Dancing on Ice


Heather is a big fan of Dancing On Ice and she would be thrilled and delighted to take part. She will tackle it in the normal way, with hard work and determination. [...]

She is no longer Sir Paul's better half so I could say --good luck and do it well! Your daughter Beatrice  should be proud of you.  Oh, I am sure she is. You are taking the hardest leisure time ever despite with your condition-- but you have guts and courage to do it-- but of course, with a huge lump some of money paid to you. It is just fair --isn't it? Take good care and be careful on the ice.
