Reply #55: While MJ's estate (not his estranged father) has the "publishing" rights...

[regnaD kciN]

...i.e. the copyright on the songs (lyrics and music) themselves, the "synchronization" rights -- i.e. the rights to the recorded performances themselves -- is held by EMI. When the new CDs are sold, a cut of the royalties will go to Jackson's estate, who will in turn pay out songwriting royalties to McCartney and Ono for a majority of the songs, with Olivia Harrison getting the share for the songs written by George, and Ringo getting a cut for "What Goes On," "Flying," "Don't Pass Me By," and "Octopus's Garden," and all four will get performance royalties for all of the CDs from EMI.

Hope this helps.
