A Brief Timeline of Ownership over The Beatles Catalog

Ownership of music is broken into two aspects; who owns the original recordings and who owns the publishing rights, or the songs themselves (independent of any recording). Therefore, publishing rights to a song recorded but not written by The Beatles. For a bit of context, every time an artist's copyrighted song was used for commercial purposes, a licensing fee was then paid to the record label, which in turn paid the artist in royalties. A separate licensing fee was also due to the track's songwriter, which is why some hit songwriters who weren't even performers could rake in guaranteed income for many years after
