Paul McCartney won't buy back the Beatles' songs

According to Rolling Stone magazine Paul McCartney won't buy back the Beatles' songs from Michael Jackson even though he admits he hates paying to play the songs he wrote. Paul and Michael were once friends but in 1985 Jackson bought the songs behind McCartney's back and the rumor is that Jackson might now sell them to help clear some of his debts. McCartney does make some money from the publishing of his songs, but ironically, he has to pay to play them live including during his current American tour.
