didn't Michael Jackson buy the rights to part of the Beatles stuff?

Yes. McCartney was giving Jackson investment advice and told him one of the best is to buy the copyrights to pop music catalogs.

McCartney was plenty peeved when Jackson out-bid him for the publishing rights to the Beatles' catalog of songs. Their friendship never recovered.

In a settlement agreement with Sony in 2017, McCartney finally regained control over his and Lennon's catalog of songs.

Didn't he have to fight Yoko for it?
