- 0:11Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 0:15Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
- 0:19Speaker 1: Donald J.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Trump's leadership.
- 0:21Speaker 1: I'm Christy nom the United States Secretary of Homeland Security.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are at the
- 0:29Speaker 1: lowest levels ever recorded, and over one hundred thousand illegal
- 0:33Speaker 1: aliens have been arrested. If you are here illegally, your
- 0:37Speaker 1: next you will be fined nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned,
- 0:41Speaker 1: and deported.
- 0:42Speaker 2: You will never return.
- 0:44Speaker 1: But if you register using our CBP home app and
- 0:47Speaker 1: leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Do what's right, leave now.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Under President Trump, America's laws, border and families will be protected.
- 0:57Speaker 4: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
- 1:00Speaker 5: This is a very interesting story, right, so it involves
- 1:03Speaker 5: the Beatles. Yeah, in Apple right.
- 1:06Speaker 6: Two things you may know.
- 1:08Speaker 5: A thirty year a thirty year court case between the
- 1:11Speaker 5: Beatles in Apple right. Crazy, So the Beatles, right and seventies,
- 1:19Speaker 5: mid seventies, nineteen seventy eight, Well, I think before that
- 1:23Speaker 5: they started a company called Apple Corp. Right. Apple Corp.
- 1:28Speaker 5: Was a holding company. It had a couple different uses,
- 1:32Speaker 5: but the main thing was like, they're in house record label. Right.
- 1:36Speaker 5: I don't know why they decided to name Apple, but
- 1:37Speaker 5: that was the name Apple Corp.
- 1:39Speaker 7: That's interesting.
- 1:40Speaker 5: So in nineteen seventy seven, George Harrison. You know what
- 1:44Speaker 5: George Harrison is the Beatles, of course, Well, nobody really
- 1:47Speaker 5: knows him. He's the Beatle that you never heard of, right,
- 1:52Speaker 5: most people never heard of him. So he hits ironic
- 1:56Speaker 5: because nobody's heard of him, and he heard of a
- 1:58Speaker 5: company that nobody's heard of that's just it out in
- 2:00Speaker 5: nineteen seventy seven around that time, called Apple Inc. So
- 2:04Speaker 5: he says, okay, this is pretty interesting. Is a company
- 2:07Speaker 5: called Apple? Right, So he goes to Apple Corp. The
- 2:10Speaker 5: Beatles company, and he tells them about a company called
- 2:13Speaker 5: Apple Inc. Right, So the Beatles Apple Corp. Suits Apple Inc.
- 2:20Speaker 5: Because they're using the trademark name Apple. They already trademarked
- 2:24Speaker 5: the name Apple, can't use it. So in nineteen eighty one,
- 2:28Speaker 5: they settled a lawsuit for eighty thousand dollars. An interesting
- 2:32Speaker 5: thing is that part of the settlement is that Apple Corp.
- 2:36Speaker 5: The Beatles Company, agreed to never go into the computer business.
- 2:40Speaker 5: Apple Inc. Steve Jobs Company agreed to never go into
- 2:44Speaker 5: the music business.
- 2:45Speaker 6: We're going to stay in your Linkane.
- 2:49Speaker 5: They could both use Apple, but they have to stay
- 2:51Speaker 5: in their lank. Okay. So it's going pretty good for
- 2:55Speaker 5: a couple of years, and then nineteen eighty six Apple
- 2:59Speaker 5: comes out with Musical Instrument Digital Interface. Right, Yes, that
- 3:05Speaker 5: was good.
- 3:06Speaker 6: That was good.
- 3:07Speaker 5: So that you want to talk about that now.
- 3:10Speaker 8: I'm not gonna briefly touch on it for those not
- 3:12Speaker 8: in So that's just a sound chip in the computer.
- 3:15Speaker 8: So this is before you got to think within eighties now,
- 3:18Speaker 8: So like this is like computers. They're not even in color.
- 3:21Speaker 8: It's just like the green typing. So he's putting a
- 3:23Speaker 8: sound chip in the computer. They're looking at it like wait,
- 3:26Speaker 8: sound that could be music.
- 3:27Speaker 5: It could be music because the music it's about to
- 3:30Speaker 5: say something I was going to say.
- 3:31Speaker 9: I think it also allowed them to the computers to
- 3:34Speaker 9: communicate with music land.
- 3:35Speaker 6: Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- 3:37Speaker 5: It did. So it allowed it it's kind of like
- 3:39Speaker 5: the beginning stages of putting music on a computer. So
- 3:42Speaker 5: he said, way, you're not so fast. You promised, you
- 3:46Speaker 5: promised computer. This is oh, you brought your problems. So
- 3:49Speaker 5: now they suit them again. Right, nineteen eighty six, they
- 3:52Speaker 5: suited him. So in nineteen ninety one they settled for
- 3:56Speaker 5: twenty six million dollars. Right, but they did something that
- 4:01Speaker 5: was very petty at the time. So they they're nineteen
- 4:04Speaker 5: ninety one Macintosh Alert. The name is Sumo and it's
- 4:11Speaker 5: pronounced so sue me. So it's like a kind of
- 4:14Speaker 5: like you know, and it predicts what's going to happen
- 4:17Speaker 5: in the future, right, like saying like so, so.
- 4:19Speaker 8: That was part of the sampling of sound on an
- 4:22Speaker 8: operating system. So like they have a new operating system.
- 4:25Speaker 8: Now you can sample sound again that sounds like music.
- 4:29Speaker 8: We're gonna have to sue yeah.
- 4:30Speaker 5: No, So then this is where the big cakes comes in, right,
- 4:34Speaker 5: two thousand and three the launch of iTunes. So they
- 4:37Speaker 5: just said, Okay, we're not even gonna play around anymore.
- 4:39Speaker 5: We're going into the music business right soon. Too much
- 4:43Speaker 5: money out here not to be get. We're not going
- 4:47Speaker 5: to be stopped by the Beatles, right, so they go
- 4:49Speaker 5: into full fledged with iTunes. So of course Apple Corp.
- 4:53Speaker 5: The Beetle company, right.
- 4:55Speaker 6: But they suit them this time because of the logo.
- 4:57Speaker 8: So like their logo is an actual green apple, and
- 5:00Speaker 8: the iTunes logo was an apple that had like a
- 5:03Speaker 8: little piece bitten out of it.
- 5:04Speaker 6: So it was like, wait, that looks like our.
- 5:06Speaker 5: Logo, the partially the logo, but also the music as well.
- 5:09Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 5:09Speaker 5: Yeah, so but that case lasted to two thousand and
- 5:14Speaker 5: seven and Apple actually won that case. Right, So now
- 5:18Speaker 5: Apple Inc. Owns the trademarks to Apple, right, but they
- 5:22Speaker 5: licensed out a certain you know, they licensed out trademarks
- 5:26Speaker 5: back to Apple Corp. Nobody really knows the terms of
- 5:29Speaker 5: the deal, but it's said that they settled for five
- 5:32Speaker 5: hundred million dollars. So Apple Inc. Paid Apple Corp. Five
- 5:36Speaker 5: hundred million dollars and they finally were done with it
- 5:39Speaker 5: after thirty years. And it's ironic because now the Beatles
- 5:43Speaker 5: when so when Steve Jobs, he used he was a
- 5:46Speaker 5: big Beatles fan, right, huge, and he was disappointed that
- 5:49Speaker 5: they couldn't get the Beatles on iTunes because of this
- 5:52Speaker 5: thirty year case. Right, So now, when I think it
- 5:55Speaker 5: was his two thousand and seven speech.
- 5:58Speaker 8: It's Keno address in two thousand and seven, and he
- 6:00Speaker 8: intros it by coming into the Beatles' music, So the
- 6:03Speaker 8: crowd is like, oh wait, we're about to get Beatles' music.
- 6:05Speaker 5: He has Paul McCartney.
- 6:06Speaker 6: February two thousand and seven.
- 6:08Speaker 8: They settle and they released Beatles music, but as a
- 6:11Speaker 8: solo artist. So Joe Harrison's solo music. John Lennon Paul McCartney.
- 6:16Speaker 8: I don't think Ringo had it out. Did Ringle have
- 6:17Speaker 8: a I don't know.
- 6:18Speaker 6: He might, I don't know.
- 6:19Speaker 5: So their solo.
- 6:20Speaker 8: Catalogs were released, and then three years later, in twenty ten,
- 6:25Speaker 8: I believe November twenty ten, the Beatles catalog comes to iTunes,
- 6:29Speaker 8: which is like a big moment because that catalog is ridiculous.
- 6:33Speaker 5: You know, Michael Jackson owned the Beatles catalogs on TV
- 6:36Speaker 5: on ATV. It's another conversation, so why are we telling
- 6:41Speaker 5: your story? Because it's interested in a and also it
- 6:43Speaker 5: is highlights the power of trademarks. Right, So the Beatles
- 6:48Speaker 5: made almost six hundred million dollars they made between the
- 6:50Speaker 5: three cases, they made five hundred.
- 6:53Speaker 10: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.
- 6:56Speaker 10: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

- 8:43Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
- 8:47Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador
- 8:51Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
- 8:55Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 8:59Speaker 1: so of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
- 9:03Speaker 1: Donald J.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Trump's leadership.
- 9:05Speaker 1: I'm Christy Noman, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Under President Trump, Attempted illegal border crossings are at the
- 9:13Speaker 1: lowest levels ever recorded, and over one hundred thousand illegal aliens.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Have been arrested. If you were here illegally.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Your next you will be fine nearly one thousand dollars
- 9:24Speaker 1: a day, imprisoned and.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Deported, you will never return.
- 9:28Speaker 1: But if you register using our CBP home app and
- 9:31Speaker 1: leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
- 9:34Speaker 3: Do what's right, leave now.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Under President Trump America's laws, border and families will be protected.
- 9:41Speaker 4: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
- 9:44Speaker 5: In twenty nine million. Right, kind of by accident because
- 9:47Speaker 5: they just randomly picked the name Apple one pretty sure, right,
- 9:51Speaker 5: And they didn't really have any intentions of Apple Corp.
- 9:54Speaker 5: To be a multi billion dollar company. They was like
- 9:57Speaker 5: the in house thing, right.
- 9:58Speaker 6: I'm not sure what use it came out on Apple record.
- 10:00Speaker 5: I don't think any music came out.
- 10:01Speaker 9: I think they just ended up owning all the Beatles' music.
- 10:05Speaker 9: And like you said, they had other businesses underneath their.
- 10:07Speaker 5: Like tax shelters exactly. Yeah. So just from having the
- 10:13Speaker 5: luck of the draw and picking and picking a good name.
- 10:16Speaker 5: But more importantly than picking a good name, they trademarked
- 10:19Speaker 5: the name, right, because they could have picked the name
- 10:20Speaker 5: and then trade like so how many businesses and companies
- 10:23Speaker 5: And we're going back to the fortnite thing, where we
- 10:25Speaker 5: have good ideas, but that one step changes the dynamic.
- 10:30Speaker 5: Five hundred million dollars, right, So people say a lot
- 10:33Speaker 5: of times it's like, well it's expensive to trademark, or
- 10:36Speaker 5: I don't have the money. Well you either spend five
- 10:40Speaker 5: hundred dollars to trademark or five hundred million recorder could
- 10:43Speaker 5: do that. You could have gotten if you did trademarket.
- 10:45Speaker 6: I think like that's what we saw.
- 10:46Speaker 8: Fifty did that. When he started to get the Strap campaign.
- 10:49Speaker 8: It was like wait, oh, people really like this trade money,
- 10:53Speaker 8: this is mine, Yeah, somebody.
- 10:55Speaker 7: Want to use it.
- 10:57Speaker 5: Going back to Cameron, he's notorious for that. He trademarks everything.
- 11:01Speaker 5: Remember when him and Jim Jones had the you.
- 11:04Speaker 6: Know what that that that's a sad story.
- 11:06Speaker 5: Well they made it, they rectified it.
- 11:08Speaker 6: Yeah, it was over burg Gang.
- 11:10Speaker 5: He trademark Bergan just in case, Yes, just in case.
- 11:14Speaker 5: So if anybody's a Diplomat fan, you know.
- 11:16Speaker 6: What, anybody from the early two thousands.
- 11:18Speaker 5: So it was like something that they were just saying.
- 11:20Speaker 5: It was like it wasn't like an official thing because
- 11:22Speaker 5: they would dipset Diplomat. Then the bird Gang was like
- 11:25Speaker 5: just something that they just came up with right. But
- 11:27Speaker 5: then Jim Jones actually had a crew like a offset
- 11:32Speaker 5: of Dipset that he was calling Burgang, right. I think
- 11:35Speaker 5: he had like bird Gang records and oh he's going
- 11:37Speaker 5: full Fletcher dis and Cameron without actually notifying him trademarks
- 11:43Speaker 5: the name. So Jesus, he's no longer allowed to use
- 11:47Speaker 5: burg Gang unless he pays Cameron. That's what friends are for,
- 11:50Speaker 5: exactly when something of it's as rumored that he trademarked
- 11:55Speaker 5: jelly Fan.
- 11:56Speaker 6: That's yeah, yeah, yeah, recently recently.
- 11:58Speaker 5: I'm not sure if that's true or not.
- 12:00Speaker 6: He just actually transfer from Minnesota. I don't know yet.
- 12:04Speaker 6: He just left.
- 12:04Speaker 8: He did two years at Minnesota and now he's transferring
- 12:07Speaker 8: Isaiah Washington.
- 12:08Speaker 5: If anybody is not a basketball fan New York City
- 12:10Speaker 5: street ball legend, not even a street ball.
- 12:12Speaker 8: Legend, No, not just a legend, Ramonds basketball basketball legend.
- 12:17Speaker 5: Who he he He had a crew called jelly Fan, huge.
- 12:23Speaker 6: Trademark by his the move man that layup that open
- 12:27Speaker 6: finger roll layup.
- 12:28Speaker 5: Yeah, well, people might not be basketball fans, but I
- 12:31Speaker 5: heard that Kim on because the interesting thing about that,
- 12:33Speaker 5: so the kid was in high school, right, and he
- 12:35Speaker 5: created a huge buzz for himself in high school, like
- 12:38Speaker 5: all throughout the city. Then it went national now with
- 12:40Speaker 5: social media, went all over the world where you got
- 12:41Speaker 5: kids saying jelly fam and it's like a finger roll
- 12:45Speaker 5: and it's like it just went viral. So then Nike
- 12:49Speaker 5: started printing up shirts with the jelly fan and of course,
- 12:53Speaker 5: of course he's not getting paid for he's in high school.
- 12:55Speaker 6: I think Nike might be a sponsor for Saint Raymonds.
- 12:58Speaker 6: So like they felt like we had an actually he
- 13:00Speaker 6: plays sat.
- 13:01Speaker 5: Yeah, but he came up with the idea. So it's
- 13:04Speaker 5: all going back to Apple, right, whereas we can relate
- 13:06Speaker 5: this on small level, like that's a perfect example jelly fan. Right.
- 13:10Speaker 5: I don't know the rules if he could actually trademarket
- 13:12Speaker 5: it not since he's in high school and it's rules
- 13:14Speaker 5: against the basketball places. But long story short, Nike did
- 13:17Speaker 5: that and they made money off of it, right, So and.
- 13:20Speaker 7: If he didn't protect it, then he can't really do
- 13:23Speaker 7: that into.
- 13:23Speaker 5: Police against now it's too late.
- 13:24Speaker 7: Now it was too late. Well if he can, if
- 13:26Speaker 7: they didn't protect.
- 13:27Speaker 9: It, he could still protect it and then they would
- 13:29Speaker 9: still have to pay him for using it.
- 13:31Speaker 7: If they're still continuing to make money off of it, right,
- 13:34Speaker 7: But if you don't.
- 13:35Speaker 9: Protect it, then you have no way of really, so
- 13:37Speaker 9: what registration does.
- 13:39Speaker 7: It allows you to basically sue and be able to recover.
- 13:42Speaker 9: So, like with the Fortnite case, how they had to
- 13:44Speaker 9: pull out of the case because they didn't copyright anything,
- 13:47Speaker 9: and so it's like, okay, the government's like are the
- 13:50Speaker 9: federal court is like, well, if you didn't copyright it,
- 13:53Speaker 9: then you can't police against it, so you need to
- 13:55Speaker 9: go do that, and so they pulled out. But if
- 13:57Speaker 9: they do, if they are successful with their copyright, then
- 14:00Speaker 9: will be able.
- 14:00Speaker 8: To sue them for you see, like, uh, celebrities are
- 14:04Speaker 8: doing that, like when they have children.
- 14:05Speaker 6: Now it's like the first thing they do is I'm
- 14:07Speaker 6: copy righting that name, I think.
- 14:09Speaker 8: But they lost that because there was an event planning
- 14:12Speaker 8: company called Blue Ivy.
- 14:14Speaker 9: Though they're still fighting, doesn't does an event plan or
- 14:17Speaker 9: she she has a company named Blue Ivy, and so
- 14:20Speaker 9: you know, Beyonce's a beast with her.
- 14:23Speaker 11: Game.
- 14:24Speaker 7: She has she has her own.
- 14:26Speaker 9: Company that just has her trademarks and that's the best
- 14:28Speaker 9: way to do it.
- 14:30Speaker 5: Yeah, well, there you have it. The power of trademarks.
- 14:34Speaker 5: You have to understand the law of people is one thing.
- 14:37Speaker 5: To play the game is another thing. To play the
- 14:39Speaker 5: game smart and efficiently. You don't have to be the
- 14:41Speaker 5: smartest player to win, but you have to know who
- 14:45Speaker 5: to work with, who to contact, and you have to
- 14:48Speaker 5: know opportunities when you see it. And I'm sure these
- 14:51Speaker 5: guys that made these dances up before they never knew.
- 14:53Speaker 5: They just don't know their neighbors, especially Calton things. I
- 14:55Speaker 5: don't know, that's shame on him. But the Millie Rock
- 15:01Speaker 5: and this is they're just doing it in their community,
- 15:03Speaker 5: like they're not thinking this is going to go viral
- 15:05Speaker 5: to the world. But you never know.
- 15:07Speaker 6: Well, they have your knowl down now you got to know.
- 15:09Speaker 5: Now you have to know.
- 15:09Speaker 11: So yeah, well we'll see.
- 15:36Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
- 15:39Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador
