When Apple first started way back when, they went to Apple Records and paid a settlement, with the agreement they would't have anything to do with music. Then the iPod, same thing, and the agreement was it would have nothing to do with distribution of actual music. Apple (US) is just pushing their luck as far as they can.
For the record, those Beatles anthologies have the little Apple logo. And Apple itself had more than just the Beatles - oh sure, they were a boutique kinda label, but Jackie Lomax and Mary Hopkin...great stuff. And Apple just put out a great Mary Hopkin reissue I highly recommend (save the modified track sequence, but nothing a program button can't fix)
