Paul McCartney sues to get Beatles songs back from Sony

The Beatles singer Paul McCartney is suing to get the band's songs back.

McCartney yesterday filed suit against Sony/ATV Music Publishing to regain the rights to Beatles songs he either wrote or co-wrote with John Lennon.

In the suit, McCartney argues the 1976 Copyright Act should allow him to regain control of the songs from Sony/ATV next year.

The songs he's seeking include "Yesterday" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
