i believe i read somewhere that ABKCO has renewed the copyrights, so they won't be expiring that soon.
it's easily misunderstood territory, though, so ... so better wait for someone like Rocky Dijon or retired_dog

>> They said that for the Beatles it would be 2010 and this is one reason the remasters are out now<<
who is "they", though? and did "they" get the facts straight?
it could be that the timing of the re-releases is connected with renewing the copyrights -
for example to extend them to that 70-years-after-the-death-of-the-author(s) limit
which i think is standard now in Europe, isn't it?? maybe it's still under consideration, as studiorambo says
but i thought it was already standard. i hope someone like retired_dog and/or Rocky Dijon will pipe up -
they know a lot about this sort of thing
