Question

Who owns copyrights to the Beatles songs?

Answer 1

depends on which of their songs, I know Michael Jackson owns the copyright to one of his songs.

Answer 2

Michael Jackson bought manyof the Beatles classics.... but he doesn't know what to do with them or Neverland wouldn't be in trouble.

Answer 3

Micheal Jackson...I think?

Answer 4

Michael "Wanna Play At My House Boys?" Jackson. When he gets low on cash, he sells them for use in commercials that have nothing remotely in common with them. Very sad thing.

Answer 5

Michael Jackson bought the rights to the Beatles catalog for (I believe)  around 300,000,000  (that's million)  sometime (I believe) back either in the very late 80's or early 90's, unfortunately.  He doesn't deserve them at all!

Answer 6

Most of the songs are owned by a company called Northern Songs. It in turn, is owned by Sony and Michael Jackson. Some of the very early ones ("Love Me Do"/"P.S. I Love You") are owned by Paul McCartney, who bought them back some years ago. The later Harrison songs (like "Something", "Here Comes The Sun", etc.) are owned by Harrisongs, a company owned by George Harrison's estate. Ringo's songs ("Don't Pass Me By", "Octopus's Garden") are owned by Startling Music, a company owned by Ringo.

"Free As A Bird" and "Real Love" are owned jointly by the surviving Beatles and their estates.
