On Wednesday, musician Paul McCartney filed a lawsuit to secure the copyright to the Beatles back catalogue. It is a case that could have far reaching ramifications for the whole music industry. Under the law, artists could reclaim copyright for songs 35 years after they gave them away - or 56 years for tracks from before 1978. McCartney filed the lawsuit against Sony ATV Music Publishing in federal court in New York City.
