[情報] Paul McCartney 並未拿到披頭四版權
Paul McCartney 'not devastated' over Michael Jackson will
賣考題對mj的遺囑並不意外
The former Beatle has said he didn't believe 'for a second' that the King of
Pop intended to leave him his share of the Fab Four's back catalogue
他從來不相信mj會給他披頭四版權的持分
Sir Paul McCartney has said he is not surprised that Michael Jackson didn't
leave him the rights to the Beatles' back catalogue, saying he didn't believe
"for a second" that this would happen. Despite rumours that Jackson planned
to bequeath his share of Sony/ATV publishing to McCartney, it was revealed
last week that there was no such instruction in the will.
他不驚訝. 儘管傳言mj會遺贈sony股份給賣考題, 最後在上禮拜都證實是空穴來風.
"Some time ago, the media came up with the idea that Michael Jackson was
going to leave his share in the Beatles' songs to me in his will," McCartney
wrote on his website. "[It] was completely made up."
"前陣子有媒體跟我講過."
That "idea" was first reported by the Mirror in January. Jackson, their
source alleged, had decided to bulid bridges with McCartney by drawing up a
new will that left him his share of the Beatles' back catalogue. But after
Jackson's death on 25 June, there was no sign of this will – and the
singer's assets were all left to a trust.
但是隨著mj過世, 他的遺產都是留給信託.
"The report is that I am devastated to find that he didn't leave the songs to
me," McCartney wrote. "This is completely untrue. I had not thought for one
minute that the original report [about the will] was true, and therefore the
report that I'm devastated is also totally false."
"報導說我很震驚. 事實上是錯的. 我從來就沒相信這件事"
In fact, Jackson may scarcely have had any of the Beatles' back catalogue
left. The Quietus reports that earlier this year, Jackson sold all but 5% of
his remaining 25% share in Sony/ATV – in an attempt to improve his financial
situation.
事實上, mj可能已經沒啥披頭四版權的持分了, 但是還有sony的股份
Jackson acquired the rights to the Lennon/McCartney song catalogue in 1985,
outbidding McCartney in the purchase of ATV Music. ATV later merged with
Sony's publishing division, shares of which were considered some of Jackson's
most valuable property. Though Jackson and McCartney had collaborated on
songs like The Girl is Mine and Say Say Say, the ATV purchase permanently
soured their relationship.
McCartney often complained of "having to pay" every time he performed songs
such as Hey Jude, but his resentment has faded with time. "I got off that
years ago," he told Halifax's Q104 radio station last Thursday. It was
something for a while I was very keen on and you can see why, naturally ...
[but these] sort of things can eat you up."
賣考題常抱怨每次唱自己的歌還要付錢, 但是怨恨隨著時間過去淡去
After Jackson's death, McCartney described the singer as a "massively
talented boy-man with a gentle soul". "I feel privileged to have hung out and
worked with Michael," he said.
mj死後, 賣考題 稱 mj 為天才. "我有幸和他一起共事"
