Michael Jackson owns the rights to a large majority of the Beatles' songs, but not all of them (He bought out the company that was "holding" the rights). Lennon & McCartney estates still own song-writer rights to most if not all of the songs.

Michael Jackson has refinanced his debt, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, but has not released specific details, specifically the impact on his portion of Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC.

The Santa Monica company is the joint venture of Jackson and Sony Corp. That controls the rights to more than 400,000 songs, including the 251-song catalog of The Beatles.

Totally Tam. They've built up an entire music EMPIRE! Even if you're Paul's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter, you'll still be filthy stinkin' rich! Anyone in that brood is instantly aboard the success train. Choo-choo!

Yep, all the above. I remember Jackson outbid McCartney for what he got. Seems strange they ever went for auction in the first place. There is a question. Who decided to sell off the rights in the first place?

I knew Michael Jackson had bought a substantial chunk of them, but I was not sure if he had sold them. There was talk that perhaps he might have to.
