Michael Jackson The Beatles: Does Michael Jackson STILL own every song by The Beatles?

Michael Jackson worked with Sir Paul McCartney many times in his early career, even performing a duet. He also did an iconic radio interview with George Harrison, showing how these two were also very close. MJ was such a fan of The Beatles he even purchased a huge amount of the Lennon-McCartney back catalogue - but does he still own them?
Does Michael Jackson still own the rights to songs by The Beatles?

Michael Jackson purchased the publishing copyrights to songs written by Lennon-McCartney and some early songs by George Harrison.

This was something which, according to one biography of the Thriller singer, Michael had joked about with Sir Paul McCartney at dinner.

However, things became real when the catalogue of songs from ATV Music became available to purchase, and both Sir Paul and Yoko Ono, John Lennon’s widow, decided against purchasing them.
