Beatles piracy fixation gets stranger with huge FLAC release

EMI recently scored an epic victory against the US website that tried to sell Beatles tracks online for a quarter, but the whole incident raised a familiar question: why, exactly, isn't The Beatles music legally available online?
The answer isn't hard to find—as everyone knows, The Beatles' own music company, Apple Corps, hasn't been able to reach a deal on offering the songs online. It's not as though EMI hasn't tried to convince Apple Corps to allow online distribution either; it has, repeatedly, and the surviving Beatles are open to the idea. So why hasn't it happened?
