Apple House Music

Distributors of stop gap live concert CDs on various labels such as "Banana", "Grapefruit" and "Joker Productions" for the Australian market and "Dynamic Live" and others for the Asian market. Apple House was owned by Australian Compact Disc Manufacturers. Disillusioned that they could not secure major label business, the owner turned to manufacturing live concert CDs until they were outlawed in Australia. The Australian Record Industry Association launched aggressive legal action against Apple House but failed spectacularly to stop these releases which at the time did not contravene local copyright laws. The Court agreed that labelling the CDs clearly as "Unauthorised" meant there would be no deception to the consumer. The laws were soon changed and these CDs were outlawed causing Apple House and ACDM to cease business.
