Even mighty Apple computers infringes on intellectual property. Well, sort of. The Pitchfork article does not explain who actually owns the video, the filmmakers or the band. My guess is that legally the filmmakers own the video, so if they want to sell it to Apple technically I suppose they have every right to sell. It does seem strange though, that no one consulted the band. Especially considering The Postal Service have shown no resistance to plugging their music on television commercials. I think I've heard their songs in no less than 5 current commercials.
On a side note, anyone remember the Denteyne Ice commercial with the Papas Fritas song in it? Boy, I miss that band. They were a lot of fun.
