youtube really opens up the whole stones experience. without it these versions might have been lost forever.

Why is there an official version of Jumping Jack Flash among these copyright preservation tracks? They preserved the right of this one on all the compilation releases as recent as Grrr!?
But it is not the official version, because of Jagger singing "boo/buh" and some other noises in the middle of the song.

ABKCO has been making these "copyright preservation releases" for a few years in a row now. They make the songs available on youtube for a while and then take them down again just to hold on to the copyright.
According to EU Directive it has to be "lawfully published or lawfully communicated to the public" within fifty years.

Like those 1966 recordings that appeared on YouTube briefly, then vanished. I seem to recall a version of Mother’s Little Helper, where Keith sings the opening line of ’What a drag it is, getting okd’ Shame they remove them, really.

I don't understand this copyright preservation releases. Under the Berne Convention Regulations, copyright is granted automatically at creation. The validity of copyright on published work is for the duration of the author's death + 70 years. The duration of copyright of unpublished work is eternal under Berne convention, and death+70 years to a maximum of 120 years in the US.
To complicate things there's also the Sonny Bono Act, which fixed a period of 95 years for anything placed under copyright from 1923 to 1977, after which the measure isn’t fixed, but based on when an author perishes. Copyright can also be renewed to extend the period.
Then, you can register unpublished work and recordings without actually publishing them. But you only do this when you intend to publish. If you want to keep it unpublished there's basically nothing you need to do.
All unpublished work by the Stones is copyrighted. A band cannot make a recording of a Stones outtake and publish it under the bands name and under any other credit than "Jagger/Richards", as the copyright is granted at creation.
The copyright to the music and copyright to a recording are two separate things. Europe 1 holds the rights to the recording of a Paris 1966 Stones show recording, but ABKCO holds the copyright to the songs. The recording of the show is for 70 years after death, and the recording can only be released when all parties agree on the release, thus on how the royalties are shared.
So, what am I missing? Why does an outtake of Child of the Moon or Sympathy, which has full copyrights until 2100 or so when it needs renewal, need to be published? Where does the 50 years come from?

I believe that's why the Paris 67 recording was given a very limited release last year.
Interestingly (or perhaps not) , I don't believe ABKCO has any rights to the Paris 65 to 67 concerts. They belong to Europe 1 who recorded and broadcast the shows Musicorama and/or it's parent company. I am currently trying to obtain a licence for a 1961 concert in their archives and it is clear that it is owned by them and I assume the same is true for the rest of their catalogue including the Stones shows.
ABKCO also claim, according to BMI.com, for example, that Don't Lie To Me is a Jagger / Richards composition published by ABKCO as is the Stevie Wonder track being discussed elsewhere on the forum.
Given that a lot more from the Beggars period is around on bootleg, it's surprising that only these 4 tracks are up for copyright protection. What about Blood Red Wine for example ? Does this mean that it's fair game and now in the public domain. We know ABKCO have a tape for it. Their copyright theories don't seem very well thought out.

Hence, Musicorama should also be the owner of the Olympia october 1964 concert, if you have contacts you could maybe ask if it is still available

I can ask if it still exists. They have been in the process of re-housing their archive. The tape I am hoping to arrange a licence for "should" exist but this cannot be confirmed until the archive move is finished and the holdings checked, or at least that's what I've been told. Even then, the costs involved are the most expensive I have come across in 5 years of "playing this game". Well, almost.
Unfortunately most companies are not forthcoming about details of their holdings even if it's 60 year old stuff they have no intention of doing anything with and licensing is extremely expensive. If 64 Olympia exists, the costs of licensing it are likely to be ruinous and then ABKCO will come calling.
Either way, for ABKCO to claim copyright on Europe 1's broadcasts has to be at least as questionable as their copyright for the "Jagger - Richards" song Don't Lie To Me. How can ABKCO get away with either of those ??
