Best Answer

Michael Jackson bought the rights to many of The Beatles songs many years ago, outbidding Paul McCarthy for them. Recently he has sold some of them in an attempt to liquidate some of his debts.

Rumor has it that he leaves the remainder to Paul McCarthy in his will. Michael Jackson bought the publishingrights to most of The Beatles catalog. The individual Beatles still retained songwriters rights and we paid for it each time a song in the catalog was licensed.
