Beatlemania is back — and in the age of media disruption, that means the long-awaited, digitally remastered version of Beatles songs set to go on sale Wednesday are already available as illegal downloads on BitTorrent and other file sharing networks. The remastered Beatles tracks surfaced on a private BitTorrent tracker over the long weekend, according to.

We compared the sound of the new Beatles remastered CDs with original LPs. 'The Beatles (The White Album)' and 'Abbey Road' over my iPod, using my Monster Turbine in-ear headphones, and over.

They then inevitably spread to publicly available torrent trackers such as The Pirate Bay, where people are sharing them as one big file and as individual albums (screenshot below). A Wired.com source confirmed that someone posted the remastered Beatles catalog on Monday on the private BitTorrent service, where the mono and stereo versions are in a variety of file formats. Does this mean it is time to hope again that long-overdue legal digital downloads of The Beatles will be finally be available tomorrow? The stars seem to be aligning well for that eventuality: Apple is holding a music-related event in San Francisco Wednesday. Also Wednesday: The heavily promoted goes on sale. Squabbling between stakeholders has kept The Beatles out of digital music stores, although, of course, it has long been possible to “share” digital tracks ripped from CDs. But the existence now of high-quality remastered tracks give The Beatles’ label (Apple Corps.), the band’s former label EMI, and Apple’s iTunes a new opportunity to exploit this digital bounty in a big way. Alternatively, they could leave it to file sharers to control the distribution channels, as they have in the past.

We’ve made confident (and ) predictions about this before, so we are familiar with a bit of egg on the face. But, it has to be said: The Beatles and their labels would have to be crazy not to capitalize on this week’s hype to announce their music’s availability in iTunes. (Update:.) And there’s no better way to make that announcement than at an Apple event. In November of last year, as rumors about The Beatles and iTunes swirled for the umpteenth time, not to expect it to happen any time soon.

But Apple Corps., EMI and the other Apple have had almost a year to work it out.  Mass effect 2 wiki. “Life is very short, and there’s no time for fussing and fighting, my friend,” John Lennon. “I have always thought that it’s a crime, so I will ask you once again.” See Also: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •.
