   Good point, and one that didn't occur to me until today, when catalogue   
   ownership came up as part of the general talk about Neil Innes [*] having   
   just died. It turns out that the Beatles didn't own their own catalogue   
   either.   
      
   [*] Member of the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band and the Rutles, he wrote "Urban   
   Spaceman", the Bonzo's only real hit.   
      
   Sadly, I only saw him once, when he was the pianist during a recording   
   session for a couple of episodes of the Radio 4's "I'm Sorry, I Haven't a   
   Clue". That was back when Humphrey Lyttleton was its chairman and general   
   provider of mayhem - they made Neil sing "Urban Spaceman" while the   
   backing track faded out to see if he was still keeping correct time when   
   the backing track faded back in. He was.
