If I am not mistaken, next Saturday night October 15th at Desert Trip Indio CA
is Paul McCartney's last scheduled tour date.
I think/ predict that is his last show/ Paul is calling it.

I highly doubt it. I see nothing that suggests his shows have changed that much. He's played basically the quota he usually plays a year. I'm sure he'll keep going next year, and I really don't see him ending for another 2 or 3 years. He still seems fine.
So far, he has three dates scheduled for Tokyo in April...so much for that prediction...Quote

Okay. And just for the record, I am certainly not saying/ qualified/ or think he should,
But I think he's retiring next Saturday.

This matter has been rumbling for years...and it would gave never happened if Macca hadn't been such a cheapstake and been outbid by Wacko Jacko.
I would not put any money on Paulie winning this action. Sony have only recently paid out a lot of dosh to the MJ Estate for outright ownership of the Northern Songs catalogue and will have had the best legal brains looking into every angle of the deal.
Do authors (of books) have the same problem? In the music industry the publishing and copyright laws seem such a mess.
The deposition doesn't fill one with much confidence: It refers to Lee Eastman (PM Attorney) in the present tense. Of course, he died many years ago..Paul's publishing empire is advised by John Eastman (Lee's son), who of course featured in the infamous Beatles 1969 business fiascos.
The Stones situation is probably different. In 1964 (ie before Klein), Manager Andrew Oldham arranged for The Essex Music Group to administer and publish the self penned compositions. Oldham held the copyrights. When ALO was short of funds, he sold these golden nuggets to Klein....who eventually also took over the publisher's role.
If the group had thought they had a legal right to the copyrights, they would have
fought for these during the 1971/72 ABKCO litigation. All they got was some back pay for past income.
