Basically Apple Computer and Apple Records had an agreement that Apple wouldn't get into the music business. If I remember right the issue started because Apple's computers were capable of playing sounds and music. I think there was another lawsuit when Apple came out with the ipod and itunes, that got settled with Apple paying Apple Records a bunch of money.
