As Paul told Michael, there is a lot of money being made from owning the rights to songs. I remember vaguely, that PM owns rights to a popular colleges fight song, so whenever it got played at a game, he got a cut. PM supposedly owes a ton of song that aren't his. On one of David Gilmour's videos, he, the band and their WAGs are singing Happy Birthday to Richard Wright, but the sound is off so DG doesn't have to pay royalties. Kind of odd that Happy Birthday is not in public domain.
