| Poll question: Why aren't the Beatles at the end of AT&T commercials? |
|
As you know, the Oasis song "All Around The World" is at the end of AT&T commercials that are out now. Why do you think the Beatles were not selected?

| 2. Yes, the Beatles don't own their songs |

| 5. not so much selling as being repossessed |

Sony has been loaning him money with the catalogue as collateral for a long time, he's believed to owe them as much as $200 million.
