How come Everyone thinks Michael Jackson owns The Beatles Recording? EMI Says They Own the Master Tapes?

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:57:28 +0000

Well in all the news stories State that EMI Ltd holds the copyrights to the The Beatles and Solo (except Paul`s Solo music) master tapes and The Beatles tried to sue EMI Ltd to take ownership of The Master Tapes and The Beatles lost the case! I seen the Masters in the EMI vaults they are labeled propriety of EMI. And EMI files The lawsuits who infringe on the Copyrights of the The Beatles music. MJ does not have anything to do with EMI or the master tapes. You can look on any Beatles Album or any TV program they list they got the music from EMI and is copyrighted by EMI. Only thing MJ owns Is the the Publishing rights!

Michael Jackson’s Estate owns the majority of The Beatles songs. The estimated value of this catalog -in 2009- was 1.1 Billion dollers US. Long term royalties have been estimated to be five times that. EMI may own the master tapes; but these are really only historical documents. The cans are the property of EMI, and when the original printing on albums etc. was done; they owned the -temporary- copywrites. This changes when the owner of the copywrite; (the song’s author), makes a written agreement -an ‘Exclusive Grant’- to assign the copywrite to another organization, such as a publisher. Copywrites can be bought, sold, willed to others, or given away. In 1985, Michael Jackson Holdings bought the publishing rights to 159 or 251 Beatles songs (depending which company is counting), for 47.5 million dollers. This means that the Michael Jackson estate gets a royalty whenever a Beatles song is played or printed. Selling copywrites restricts the future use of the works by the author. Therefore, there is often artist negotiation; but Michael Jackson would not. Paul MacCartney describes the discussion he had -somewhat bitterly- on an appearance on the David Letterman show. (Note that ‘Lennon-MacCartney’ will always get a 50% share of the writers royalties). The EMI suit you’re referring to is the 2005 case, when the ex-Beatles sued them for 54 million dollers in unpaid royalties. Also not to be confused with the 1969 Lew Grade take-over bid of Northern Songs. In 1995 Sony Corp. paid Michael Jackson 95 million dollers to merge these ATV songs into a 50/50 joint venture called ‘Sony/ATV Publishing’.

Is a 1973 " Band On The Run " album worth anything to collectors?

The album cover does have some abrasions on the outside caused by the record inside it around where the edge of the record stops. The music is by Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, and Denny Laine. All selections published by McCartney Music Inc. / ATV Music Corp. / BMI. 1973 EMI Records Ltd. Any help would be very appreciated.

In the condition you describe, a few dollars., when they do sell, at eBay. The shipping costs more than what the bids are for the LP, total averaging $5-$6. If you’ve got the poster, you might get $8 total.

is it true Music Industry Is ON THE VERGE OF FOLDING . . . Many TOP LABELS May Close IN MONTHS!!!?

admin — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 15:16:40 +0000

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is warning the music industry is on the brink of collapse, insisting young musicians should resist signing record deals because the major labels will "completely fold" within months.

The British rockers broke away from their longtime label, EMI, in 2007 and went on to embrace the new digital era with the release their seventh album, In Rainbows, which they offered up over the internet and allowed fans to choose the price.

Yorke has now issued a warning to upcoming artists, urging them not to sign traditional record deals because they would be tying themselves to "the sinking ship."

In an interview for a new high school textbook called The Rax Active Citizen Toolkit, which aims to inspire youngsters to become more politically literate, Yorke claims the music industry is on the verge of a major crisis and could collapse completely within "months".

He says, "It will be only a matter of time – months rather than years – before the music business establishment completely folds. (It will be) no great loss to the world."

Some will fold, some won’t.

Who cares what Yorke thinks? The guy is a clown.
