Distinctiveness Limitation Statement
as to “ITUNES LIVE”
There is a second filing too, but without the graphic.
Could this be the mystery announcement this week?
Sounds interesting. Hopefully it has more to do with music discovery than a locker for music. My iPhone is my music locker.
Sell me a video locker, Steve!
The filing also seems to indicate moving into live performances. A way for indie bands to pimp themselves?
I’ve seen this mark before when recordings of live performances were being sold.
Perhaps they will stream concerts PPV and sell tickets (via iPod Touch and iPhone) to the physical event prior to selling live recordings and videos following the event?
It’s hard to say. Would seem like a natural extension of the iTunes brand though.
That would help sell Apple TV too.
