McCARTNEY WON'T BUY BEATLE RIGHTS #1812
Aug 11, 2005 Source: contactmusic.com


SIR PAUL McCARTNEY has slammed rumours he will take advantage of MICHAEL JACKSON's financial troubles to make a low offer for THE BEATLES song rights - because he will get them anyway.
Reports of Jackson's dwindling financial prospects prompted speculation McCartney would buy back rights to his classic songs like YESTERDAY, but the rocker revealed a legality means the songs will soon be his anyway.

And the superstar stresses his one time feud with Jackson is over because he is too happy to be angry with the fallen pop king.

He says, "I don't think so. I've had people talk to me who are more concerned for me than I am about it. But the interesting thing is, there are actually things in the whole deal that actually revert to me anyway.

"There are years approaching, there are date approaching, that we never thought would approach, where things revert to me. So really, it's a waiting game rather than a big proactive buying game.

"Which suits my personality: just hang on, be patient, it's cool. Don't get your knickers in a twist."

Paul will do backflips like The Spice Girls if he ever get his publishings back!

so would I

Good for Paul. He deserves to be the owner of the songs.

This is good news, and a very cool perspective from Paul.

What are you, his son?


That's a good approach Paul's taken-- if this is all true. He's a better man than most. I imagine it's been hard to sit by watching MJ milk his music.

I doubt it. Paul is one of the richest performers in the world he owns the rights to allot of things. Grease, Buddy Holly catalogue... I i don't he would give skinny Mike the satisfaction....

They got bought by a UK TV channel a while ago.

Paul,

Remasters please.

Love, Gangsta

thecableguy said:

If he's that rich, why was he outbid by MJ alone when he even associated with Yoko Ono to get hand on his catalogue.

"Good for Paul. He deserves to be the owner of the songs."

does he fucks like

Paul deserves to suck my cock and MJ's.

Paul didn't value his songs very much, but MJ did.

The fact that MJ owns half of Sony/ATV catalogue (which is worth more than a billion easy) and contains songs not just of beatles, but thousands of other songs too from many artists,

its easy to see why Paul has got his knickers in a twist,

Face it Paul,

you aint gonna get jack shit,

MJ is richer than Paul could ever be in his dreams! LOL!
skinny MJ wins the battle!

MJ Bankrupt?

perlease

what a joke!

you don't go bankrupt if you own Half of Sony's entire publishing catalogue!

don't forget, its not just the Beatles! MJ owns HALF of the entire Sony catalogue since he merged with Sony/ATV!

suck on it Paul,
sad greedy bastard,

he needs to stop being a bitter old man and have some fun with his one legged wife,

So if I get this right, Michael Jackson bought them for a certain time period only? Why wouldn't he sell them now, if it is so? Because then someday no one would buy them because the next day they're Paul McCartney's anyway? Or does his waiting begin again if someone else buys them? And if that is so, why is he so certain that they will soon be his?

Gosh!

Yoko screwed him, she told him to hold out and wait, if MJ didn't buy them back then someonelse would have.

From what I heard, at the last level of the transaction , in 1985, MJ was outbid by Charles Koppelmann, who have managed to secure an agreement with MCA's Irving Azzof to finance the buying of the catalogue. But in a smart twist, Jackson's lawyer, John Branca, called Azzof and begged him to stop finance Koppellman. He agreed and MJ became the owner of ATV.
Otherwise, in any option, Mc Cartney wasn't even on course.

Paul is worth well over a billion. Supposedly the richest musician in the world. Jackson has well documented financial troubles. He's taken loans out against all his assets left right and centre. He may not go bankrupt (thats ridiculous), but he can still have serious cash flow problems. He leads a billionaires lifestyle on a millionaires income. The party has to come to an end sooner or later.

karma is a mofo Mike.

speeddemon said:

exactly,

CrozzaUK said:

Who told u he was richer than MJ?

MJ is supposed to make more money than Paul on the Beatles music, he sells more records than Paul, he owns half of Sony Catalogue, he founded compagnies with the richest persons in the world, and u want me to believe that Paul is RICHER than Michael Jackson.

The only people who wants to believe that MJ is on the verge of bankruptcy are the media. It's bee 10 to 15 years since they have alerted the world that MJ was a financial bomb ready to explode. We're still waiting!

Paul has made OVER a Billion Dollars without his music rights. He doesn't need them. Why pay $800 Million or whatever for songs you wrote for free.

Paul is loaded. He already has $Billion+ Dollars.

Paul is a Genius! After his first fame of The Beatles he made amazing solo music with Wings! Then really was the first artist to understand the business side of the music business.

at least Paul doesn't sleep with little boys and show them porn, and twisted little fuck MJ is??? Did MJ just go to trial for that?? and b4 you say he was innocent, if not for the kid's mom they would have convicted that skinny fuck

Hows that plastic surgery going MJ?? oh that's right you claim only to have 2 right??? have you ever looked at the cover of your off the wall album??

Paul looks like shit now, but he grows old they it should be..untouched...

His one legged wife?? Paul has slayed about as many of your children share MJs bed... cant go there.

Paul never had to jack off in a test tube to impregmant his wife....

We can go on and on if you like...

Bottom line the beatles signed away their rights early on in their career, bad move on their part.

MJ threads always pull out the best in people.

LightOfArt said:

paul doesn't have the creditors after him either,

MJ is so much in debt that he they will start pulling things out of his ass (hee hee), so how you like it MJ, you little bastard...

MJ threads always pull out the best in people.

thecableguy said:

no actually MJ will own other half of 'Paul and his mates' too soon

Paul never owned these in the first place, he would got outbid in 85, lets go over who owns them now.
