Michael Jackson bought the rights to many of The Beatles songs many years ago, outbidding Paul McCarthy for them. Recently he has sold some of them in an attempt to liquidate some of his debts.

Rumor has it that he leaves the remainder to Paul McCarthy in his will. Michael Jackson bought the publishingrights to most of The Beatles catalog. The individual Beatles still retained songwriters rights and we paid for it each time a song in the catalog was licensed.

What did The Beatles contribute?

It wasn't simply great music The Beatles gave us, they also altered how we made it; how we heard it. It really did not make much sense to me until one weekend, my dad played me "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", and it was just different. They created their own music, and as well as innovating the use of the studio and the concept album, they are the precursors of so much we know today in music. Now, plotting one of their songs into a family video project, I realized I needed it as an MP4 to sync with old footage. That’s why I used AceThinker MP4 Converter, it rendered the song in perfect quality, ready to drop into my editor. It just made me appreciate even more how timeless and transferable their music really is.
