 Sir PaulMcCartney and Sony 'reach deal' on The Beatles song rights 保罗·麦卡特尼爵士与索尼公司就披头士乐队的歌曲版权达成协议 詹姆斯·保罗·麦卡特尼（James Paul McCartney）前披头士乐队成员 Sir Paul McCartney and Sony have a reached a deal in a battle over who owns publishing rights to The Beatles' songs, The Hollywood Reporter says. 经过多年的努力，保罗·麦卡特尼爵士和索尼公司就谁拥有披头士乐队的歌曲出版版权一事终于达成了协议。 The musician had gone to a US court, seeking to regain the rights to 267 of the band's classic tracks. 在此之前，这位音乐人曾前往美国法院，试图重新取得该乐队267首经典曲目的版权。 He has been trying to get them back since the 1980s, when Michael Jackson famously out-bid him for the rights. 实际上保罗·麦卡特尼从1980年代开始起，就一直在努力找回这些歌曲的版权，可是当时著名的迈克尔 杰克逊以高于他的出价取得了这267首歌曲的版权。 迈克尔杰克逊 Jackson's debt-ridden estate sold the songs to Sony last year, along with others including New York, New York. 去年，深陷债务危机的杰克逊遗产管理者把这些歌曲的版权以及其它的包括《纽约，纽约》（Frank Sinatra 代表金曲）这样金曲的版权卖给了索尼公司。 Sir Paul's legal case, filed in a Manhattan court in January, was over what is known as copyright termination - the right of authors to reclaim ownership of their works from music publishers after a specific length of time has passed. 保罗爵士的诉状在一月份的时候递交给了曼哈顿法庭，当时是以终结版权为名义提起的诉讼。终结版权的意思是——在音乐出版商超过了特定保护时间之后，著作者可以申请追回版权拥有权。 He claimed that he was set to reacquire the Beatles songs in 2018, but said Sony had not confirmed that it would transfer the copyrights to him. 他说，他原本应该在2018年可以重新要回披头士的这些歌曲的版权，但是并不能确认到时候索尼会依据美国的版权保护法律将这些歌的版权转交给他。 “The parties have resolved this matter by entering into a confidential settlement agreement," Sir Paul's attorney Michael Jacobs wrote in a letter to US District Judge Edgardo Ramos. “各方在签署了一份保密协议后就此解决了这一问题，“保罗爵士的代理律师迈克尔的贾科布在写给美国区域法官埃德加都 拉莫斯的一封信上说。 读完娱乐新闻，几个优美的单词等你来收rights：版权 Beatles：甲壳虫乐队，披头士乐队 Sir ：爵士 musician ：音乐家、音乐人 regain：复得，重新取得，收复 confidential settlement ：秘密协议 |
