Blue Beat being Sued for Streaming Beatles Music for Free

Given how fiercely the Beatles’ back catalogue is resisting full online availability (they’re still not on iTunes), I can’t understand how Blue Beat thought it could possibly be a good idea to offer free streaming on their back catalogue. Inevitably, they’re being sued to remove it, but haven’t yet (3pm Nov 5th) removed it from their site. I wouldn’t like to be looking down the barrel of EMI’s revolver on this one.
