Sir Paul McCartney has recently revealed he doesn't want to buy back the rights to Beatles's songs from Michael Jackson.

Jackson, who bought them in 1985, being rumored that he had earned a lot of money, especially after the Live 8 concerts, is reportedly trying to sell them, because of his huge debts.

However, McCartney declared he doesn't want to purchase the rights for now, because, in a few years, they will revert back to him automatically.

"Bono rang me and said, 'Did you hear? He's selling the songs. You should buy them!' Everyone else thinks I should too.
But the thing is, I do get some cash from the publishing already. And in a few years more of the rights will be automatically be reverting to me," Contactmusic.com quoted McCartney as saying.

"The only annoying thing is, when I tour America I have to pay to play some of my own songs. But I don't think about that. Because if I did, it would be just too annoying.", the former Beatles member confessed.
