All I&#x27;m saying is that of all the people to pick to own the publishing rights to my songs, Michael Jackson isn&#x27;t the worst choice. He was probably right when he said it was &quot;just business&quot;. I mean, it&#x27;s not as if McCartney was all that opposed to the practice of selling publishing rights, not only did he sell his own rights, but he also participated in the whole regime by buying other artist&#x27;s rights.
