Doesn't Michael Jackson own all the rights to Beatles songs?

In 1985, ATV's music catalog was sold, and Michael Jackson was the high bidder. Jacko paid a reported $47 million for the publishing rights to somewhere between 159 to 260 Beatles songs.

Wacko Jacko had to sell off his Beatles catalog about a year ago. The lawyers bills are coming in for the cost of that circus trial in California. The kinky little boys fetish caught up to him eventually. The last I heard, Jacko was living in Dubai or one of those Islamic kingdoms in the Middle East.

That NeverLand amusement park and the zoo is for sale too...

All Paul wants is a piece of the digital pie royalties. He should be happy with what he already has he already has enough money for the rest of his life time and i dont see the point of him doing this.

Just go P-2-P. The Beatle's catalog. It's all there. Everything.

(Don't tell Jesus-Juice-Jackson that, though. His remaining Beatles-publishing-rights are about the only thing that's gonna save his sorry ass at this point).
