Still can’t call it a turnaround. But music sales are indeed up in the U.S. this year, and that’s because digital sales have new life again. That can’t be because the Beatles are on iTunes. (Right?)

A couple years ago, we learned that you can’t take music from the major labels and sell copies of it on your own Web site without a license. Today we learned what happens if you try: a $950,000 penalty

Answer: Nope. Consumers had room for two million Fab Four songs, and another 450,000 albums in their digital catalogs.
