ROCK CALENDAR: on August 10, 1985, Michael Jackson bought the copyright for 251 Beatles songs

With these copyrights turned out to be a very complicated story. It is known that the Beatles were great musicians, but bad managers, this led to the fact that with their huge money they fell for the bait of any crooks. Naive and poorly educated provincial believed in the people they hired to manage their Affairs, and those they shamelessly robbed and another commercial venture fell apart, bringing big losses. So was and this time They decided to keep their copyright on their songs, organized music publisher Northern Songs, where he conveyed his laws to the songs. The founders were McCartney, Lennon, Epstein and the only professional in this business - dick James. When Epstein died, James posuetilsya and sold the publishing house, deceiving Paul and John.
Ten years later, McCartney shared his dream with his friend Michael Jackson – to buy the Beatles songs back. They talked for a long time and a friend of Michael's also caught fire with this idea. As a result, on August 10, Michael Jackson acquired these rights. On the puzzling question McCartney he replied, "How! I thought you knew!"Their friendship is over, but judge for yourself – what kind of friendship can there be when the bill went to tens of millions of dollars! (Michael has paid 46 million dollars).
When a former friend Michael died, it turned out-that he had long resold the rights of the Japanese Sony for 95 million. Now McCartney would be happy to buy the rights from the Japanese, but he can't afford it yet. It's like luck-released from the hands and will not catch.
