Michael Jackson - Page 9

I know one person who is happy over this. Paul McCartney. Now he has a chance to get his hands on the Bealtes songs that MJ owned the rights to. Although it's a bit more complicated then that.

But anyway, MJ's debts will most likely be paid off in full before the whole commotion has died down. Hell, they could be paid off with the royalties from his own songs in a few years time.

First of all, McCartney once said that he has no real desire to buy those rights back.

Secondly, didn't Jackson sell those to Sony?

Either way, I think it was abit 'low' from MJ to buy those rights. I mean, the guy(or girl, whatever he wanted to be) had enough money already. Buying the rights right before the nose of an actualy Beatle was.. well.. like I said, low.

I think he did, but evidently kept a big slice ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Songs

It'll be intersting to see what they go for now....especially if his estate were to want a quick sale to balance the books

Reported to have been worth one billion dollars for the entire lot of them, but MJ only sold half to help pay his bills.

Seems MJ left a lot of lawsuits in the lurch.

Frankly I hope they stay there.
