Subject: Paul McCartney launches bid to Get Back his Beatles songs

Written By: Philip Eno on 03/21/16 at 7:00 am

Sir Paul McCartney has filed legal papers in the US, as part of an attempt to reclaim the publishing rights to The Beatles' back catalogue. Although he co-wrote most of the band's hits, the star has never controlled the publishing. However, the US copyright act of 1976 gives writers the opportunity to reclaim the rights after 56 years. The Lennon-McCartney catalogue becomes available in 2018, and Sir Paul has recently moved to recapture it.

Doesn't Michael Jackson's estate still own a good chunk of these?
