The UK's [Music Ally](http://musically.com/blog/2009/10/30/bluebeat-streaming-and-selling-beatles-albums-digitally/?ref=hypebot.com) tipped me to this, but you have to see it [for yourself](http://www.bluebeat.com/artists/419?ref=hypebot.com). Downloads of The Beatles – and not $.99, but rather for a mere $.25 at [BlueBeat Music](http://www.bluebeat.com/artists/419?ref=hypebot.com). Same thing with [ACDC](http://www.bluebeat.com/artists/37?ref=hypebot.com). Neither act has ever been available legally as downloads.

The only explanation has to be that the U.S. based site has taken the beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission approach to licensing. I can hear the billable hours clock starting to tick as a gaggle of LA music industry lawyers read this over their morning lattes.
