I think Paul McCartney bought back the rights to his songs several years ago.

Cochran told Larry King yesterday that he won't represent jackson. He said he no longer takes criminal cases. I believe he would if it wern't widely known that jackson is broke.

[longtermmemmory]

in all seriousness, I wonder what they were looking to find. video taped proof? pictures?

Will the prosecution have access to any evidence cultivated by the civil cases?

40 cars could not have all been there just to check out the place.

I think YOUR comment deserves QUOTE OF THE DAY!

Please take a bow!

Useful idiots takes on a whole new meaning with this one.

Century City. Which is where, BTW? Is it a suburb of LA? Century City is an area of big office towers on the West Side of LA.

Kerry had the nerve to say that he didn't appreciate Dean reminding everyone that he was a doctor. Kerry is Gore lite.

I'll bet the phones in every law firm in Beverly Hills, DC and NYC haven't stopped ringing for the past 2 days. LOL

The 9th Circus is a federal court.

A habeas action (after conviction in state court) would come to federal court.

Didn't DieHard take place in Century City?

Claim: Michael Jackson owns the rights to the Beatles' songs.
Status: Mostly true.

Origins: This
is one of those items which is primarily true, but the answer needs to be heavily qualified in order to avoid being misleading.

First off, when we talk about someone owning the "rights" to songs, what we're discussing are publishing rights. Typically, songwriters assign the publishing rights for their songs to music publishing companies, who perform a number of marketing and promotional services to generate revenue for the songwriters they represent:


Exploitation: One of the more important functions of song publishers is "plugging" songs -- getting artists interested in recording a songwriter's work. Your song doesn't make any money if nobody uses it, and song plugging was an especially important aspect of the publishing business prior to the 1960s, when many songwriters were not also performers and primarily supplied tunes for other singers.

Licensing: Music publishers also administer the granting and collection of royalties for various types of licenses:

Mechanical licenses: Songwriters receive royalties whenever someone sells recorded versions of their songs. If a songwriter records his own work, he receives royalties from his record label; if someone else records a cover version of his song, the songwriter receives royalties from that artist's record label...... etc.

I am just teasing. all these posts and no one is disagreeing with anyone else. I was just trying to be contentiously funny....I like you...and miss marpel too!

[Ditto]

and series too.

Gotta go, I need a smake.

Thanks for setting me straight sir.

I just got the impression that they've got quite a bit. And if they found a lot of material, his hangers on are going to have a hard time denying they knew anything. As far as the civil cases go, I find it infinitely apropos that the law that was changed after his 1993 civil case is going to be used to help prosecute this case. This victim will end up testifying if needed.

Actually, no. To date, Michael Jackson owns every song in the Beatles songbook, save two: Love Me Do and P.S. I Love You.

However, due to recent events, it is very likely these songs will once again come up for sale by the end of 2004.

Thanks. We were testing the google search engine but you just screwed it up

Google knows I screwed it up...Google knows EVERYTHING!
