It’s old news that Michael Jackson owned half of the copyrights to a large portion of Beatles songs, and that Sony/ATV Music Publishing owned the rest. But apparently, according to the US Copyright Act of 1976, songwriters are able to regain control of publishing rights on pre-1978 compositions after 56 years. This is all music to Paul McCartney’s ears. Pun intended, dudes! Behind said Act, McCartney will be able to regain control over Beatles compositions from 1962 in 2018 and songs from 1970 in 2026. So at the tender age of 76, just nine years from now, Paul McCartney (who already is worth about $737 million) will be raking in the dough.

Not that long ago, MGMT were just two of the many sort of dirty-looking, kind of hippie-vibing kids in Brooklyn. On August 5th and 6th they will opening for Paul McCartney at Boston’s Fenway Park. McCartney recently declared his admiration for the duo’s music and suggested they might collaborate on “some more dancey stuff,” so now that they will most certainly be hanging backstage, expect that pairing to actually happen and for MGMT to become the richest sort of dirty-looking, kind of hippie-vibing kids in all the world. Let that be a lesson to you, Williamsburg: Don’t change a thing.
