Yoko Ono, the widow of John Lennon and part owner of the Beatles music catalogue, revealed that there’s been no progress in negotiations with Apple when it comes to getting the band’s music in the iTunes store. Her statements quiet ongoing rumblings about the matter.
“Steve Jobs has his own idea and he’s a brilliant guy … There’s just an element that we’re not very happy about, as people. We are holding out,” Ono said in an interview with Reuters.
Ono holds an equal share in Apple Corps — not to be confused with Apple Inc — the company that owns the rights to the Beatles catalogue. The other share holders are band members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and the widow of George Harrison, Olivia Harrison.
Together the four have different ideas as to how the collection should be managed. For now, when it comes to the Beatles on iTunes, Oko instructs, “Don’t hold your breath … for anything.”
