Jackson Estate Keeps Beatles Catalogue

There’s a lot of money to be made in selling the rights to any music but I guess when it’s the Beatles catalogue we’re talking about, there’s more to be made by keeping it. Sources close to the executors of Michael Jackson’s estate reveal that they intend to keep the 50% stake in Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, which holds the rights to more than 250 songs by the iconic rock band. It’s considered the most valuable asset in the King of Pop’s estate. Since his death last year, people thought the share will be sold off to deal with the debt that Michael left behind. Business wise, it’s a smart move as the share certainly has a lot of long term value.
