He owns the copyright in his music via Promotone or Jagged Recordings, but the distribution lies with different companies and needs to be licensed accordingly.

Shine a Light previously known as (Can't Seem To) Get a Line on You.
via wiki: Shine a Light
"A version of the song, under the title "(Can't Seem To) Get a Line on You," was made by Leon Russell at Olympic Studios in October 1969 with assistance from Jagger (lead vocals), Charlie Watts (drums), Leon Russell (piano), and probably also Bill Wyman (bass) and Mick Taylor (guitar). The recording was made during the recording sessions for the album Leon Russell (released 1970), where both Watts and Wyman contributed drums and bass to some of the tracks. However, the song was shelved until 1993, when it finally surfaced as a bonus track on the 24K gold re-release by DCC Compact Classics (DCC Compact Classics GZS 1049)"
Though looking at various sources, I see a variety of different musical credits:
Either Ry Cooder or Chris Stainton on guitar. Keith's name was also mentioned somewhere.
Ringo on drums
Also read somewhere it could be Paul on bass? Doubtful...
Anybody know the actual correct line up?

Interesting that WIKI states that the song was largely a Jagger-Russell composition.
Published by ABKCO of course because of the date it was written (1969).
I wonder if Leon Russell ever claimed or received any composer royalties?

The fact that Mick ran the song down in the studio with friends doesn't mean Leon wrote it. Not saying he didn't, just that we don't know.
