The Beatles catalog has been licensed by many. At one point Michael Jackson owned it.
Lennon and McCartney songs (which Macca changed to "McCartney-Lennon) are owned by Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Neither Yoko Ono or Paul McCartney own the rights to the music. McCartney gets royalties, don't know about Yoko, but Macca had to sue Sony/ATV to recover the rights to his own music, thanks to the US's ridiculous copyright laws.
He won't own the rights to all of the Lennon-McCartney music until 2026 if he lives that long.
Yoko might have the rights to Lennon's post-Beatles stuff but who cares? It's the stuff he did with the Beatles that matters, nothing he did afterward was all that good.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
