Breaking News: Michael Is Generous Even In Death



Michael Jackson arranged through his will to return the rights of the Beatles catalogue back to Paul McCartney. Michael owned the entire catalogue and sold 50% of the rights to Sony. He and Paul had a very public falling out over this even though Michael gained the catalogue through fair means. McCartney and some Beatles fans decried Michael's licensing of some Beatles songs for commercials and other uses. Don't they know he needed that money? In recent years, Michael expressed regret and sadness he and Paul, with whom he performed the hit "Say, Say, Say" were no longer friends and did not speak with one another. Now in his death, Michael has righted a perceived wrong, whether or not he was really at fault.

  3. Did he sell the rights to sony or just lease them for commercials and such? Those songs were worth a lot of money.

  4. Fuck Paul McCartney. He doesn't need the money. He messed up the Beatles' squeakly clean reputation by marrying that one-legged whore then she took him to the cleaners.

  5. Why would he just give the rights away knowing he has three young children and a mountain of debt? The Beatles don't need the money.

  6. The Beatles lost those rights and Michael had every right to get them. Michael was just being a good business man.
