I do believe there was some legal action taken against Apple Records, |
| 13 |
because Apple computers were a bigger organisation and can afford to do |
| 14 |
so (broadly generalising here). Fortunately, the courts saw sense, and |
| 15 |
both companies continue to exist, doing their own thing in their own |
| 16 |
arena (again AFAIK). |
