Just think about this, for starters, there is a Beetles Rock Band coming out soon.
How much does his estate stand to make from their cut of the profits from that game?
How much of his unreleased recordings will be 'found' within the next 10 years?

So much of what he owned in ATV Music was so heavily mortgaged. He offered to sell it a few times. I think we'll see the extent to which he was leveraged and enabled momentarily.
Paul and Yoko had ample opportunities to purchase the catalogue, but MJ just outbid them. Even Yoko said that it was better to have someone not related to the Beatles to own the songs. I don't know how I feel about it. We're going to learn a lot soon.
