      7 Artists Who Have Fought for Ownership of Their Music

      in reading the section in The Beatles, I want to update on publishing ownership, McCartney’s MPL along with Lennon’s Lenono owns the following copyrights

      LOVE ME DO

      PS I LOVE YOU

      PLEASE PLEASE ME

      DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET

      ASK ME WHY

      And MPL owns half of TWIST AND SHOUT

      And capturing continues ... slow pace .... but continues with more to transfer.

        “After decades of drama surrounding the rights to their masters, McCartney filed a lawsuit in 2017 in hopes of regaining some of the band’s earliest works under the US Copyright Act of 1976, which allows artists to reclaim copyright from publishers after 35 years.”

        I thought it was 55 years? So in 2018, he could get back songs from 1963.

          Well, he got three back recently.  Waiting on

          THERE’S A PLACE

          I SAW HER STANDING THERE

          and that completes the “Please Please Me” album of McCartney/Lennon only

          Next!  WITH THE BEATLES and songs that where later found on “Past Masters” released in 1963.

            The next song added to the MPL/Lenono family of ownership

            I'LL BE ON MY WAY (McCartney/Lennon), a big hit by Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas
