McCartney Fights to Reclaim Ownership of Beatles Hits

Paul McCartney has filed a federal lawsuit against Sony/ATV Music Publishing to reclaim the ownership of several hits he wrote with the Beatles.

McCartney is aiming to regain the rights to a total of 267 of the band’s tunes. Among these hits are “I Want To Hold Your Hand”, “All You Need is Love”, “Hey Jude”, and “Yesterday”.

According to Rolling Stone, McCartney’s legal team is citing the 1976 Copyright Act which states that the rights to works made before 1978 must be returned to their creators 56 years after the date of the original copyright. 56 years of Beatles hits are approaching rapidly for McCartney.
