The majority of the Beatles songs are owned by Michael Jackson/Sony ever since Michael Jackson outbid Paul for the rights to the songs. I think Paul has the rights to Love Me Do though. He has his own company that owns songs you may have heard of. Somewhere over the rainbow, the Grease soundtrack. thangs like that. Plus, you have to pay half of the money paid for the copyright to the song writer. To quote how the Beatles lost their songs in the first place.

"How did the Beatles end up losing their songs?

Basically, it comes down to three steps. First, the public flotation of Northern Songs, making it a company owned by stockholders, instead of just James, Epstein, Paul and John. Second, the death of Brian Epstein. And third, the gradual drifting-apart of Dick James and the Beatles, combined with the confusion of Apple in 1968-69."

And of course Michael Jackson still has debts to pay off, even in death. Why not make some cash off some teeny boppers.
