A Fox News article regarding the recent sale: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...hael-jackson-stake-in-music-catalog-for-750m/

Does NOT include Michael Jackson's master tapes but mostly includes Publishing rights to the Beatles, Dylan music catalogue but NOT their master tapes.

What we'll probably experience is SONY licensing Beatles, Dylan tunes to the advertising world....so expect some of these great tunes to emerge in an endless barage of car commercials...et alia....at a HEFTY FEE!

They way overpaid.

Agreed and yet SONY's too cheap to re~open their SACD pressing plant in Terre Haute, Indiana.

The 750 mil will be divided among Jackson's three children and his mother and of course the lawyers who brokered the deal.

Wonder if Michael's hyperbaric chamber will ever be auctioned off on ebay?
