SAN FRANCISCO. A judge has ordered a California online music service to stop delivering Beatles songs to users.The US District Court judge sided with British music giant EMI, which filed suit this week accusing Bluebeat.com and its parent company Media Rights Technologies of infringing on its rights to Beatles songs.The judge brushed aside Bluebeat's contention that it was not violating copyright laws because Beatles tunes at its website were re-recorded "audio- visual performances with related sounds".
