I dont know if snopes is the most reliable source, but according to that(http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/jackson.asp http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/jackson.asp) Lennon/McCartney have always received 50% of the songs, so maybe the situation was as bad for sir Paul as he made it out to be. I also want to be clear that I don't think that Michael Jackson is the only bad actor in this whole saga, and it looks like you may be right that Paul and Michael did try(unsuccessfully) to work out a deal.(http://wzlx.cbslocal.com/2015/08/10/michael-jackson-beatles-songs-can-paul-mccartney-get-them-back/ http://wzlx.cbslocal.com/2015/08/10/michael-jackson-beatles-...). Seems that it makes for great gossip more than anything, and maybe it is equivalent to a "rap beef"...
