Paul McCartney, because he wanted his father-in-law (Lee Eastman) to have the job.
When the Beatles were breaking up, Paul wanted to get control of his part of the Beatles. He'd thought he'd sue the manager - Allen Klein - but he was told he actually had to sue the other Beatles; he said he agonised for 6 months about suing his mates.
He didn't. Paul McCartney sued to dissolve the Beatles' business partnership, concerned that Allen Klein's management would damage them over time. (He wasn't happy about it, saying later "I felt like an arse, suing my best mates and being seen to sue my best mates.") At the time, the other Beatles were sold on Klein, and rejected McCartney's choice of manager, his new father-in-law Lee Eastman. Lennon, Harrison and Starr later soured on Klein, and the two sides sued each other, settling in 1977 with a payment to Klein of about £3.5 million. In the end, the other Beatles were thankful to McCartney, for "saving their legacy".
No, it's two completely different things. I swear it!
The rights to Sam Cooke's music are owned by ABKCO Records. It was founded in 1961 by Allen Klein, and is based out of New York City.
Not intentionally. He was sued over his 1970 song "My Sweet Lord", because the melody was nearly identical to "He's So Fine" recorded by the Chiffons. The lawsuit went on for years, with Harrison's former manager Allen Klein actually becoming his opponent when Klein bought the company that published "He's So Fine". Harrison was found guilty of "subconscious plagiarism", rather than purposely "stealing" the melody, but he continued to appeal. The Chiffons recorded a cover version of "My Sweet Lord", Harrison's 1977 single "This Song" mocked the lawsuit, and Harrison ultimately ended up owning both songs, while Klein suffered in court for switching sides.
Paul McCartney was the Beatle who did not want to use Allen Klein. John had convinced George and Ringo to agree to using him but Paul wanted his father-in-law Lee Eastman to manage their affairs. Turns out Klein was claiming 20% of The Beatles' royalties for himself. In 1970, Paul sued the other three Beatles and Apple Corps. which led to Klein being forced to leave. Longtime friend of The Beatles, Neil Aspinall, was then appointed CEO of Apple Corps.
