Keep in mind Michael Jackson owns the rights to the Beatles' back catalogue, not the Beatles themselves. I wonder how many artists actually had any control over the sale of their music to Madison Ave. Most of the time the sleeve doesn't say copyright control, it says P + C some label (which may be the artist's own, or it may not). Aphex Twin, of course, certainly got his money for that Pirelli Tires commercial so many years ago. Does he still have the tank in his backyard? (Let's not get started on the injustices of the automotive industry, the environmental cost, etc. thanks! We Know! I still drive one anyway!) Anyway. Continue arguing. Tom P.S. I'm starting a Syntax8rror Fan Club. We'll get together on Friday nights in chatrooms and try to guess how old he is, which city in France, and so on - loads of fun!
