Have you seen the royalties charge for Beatles tunes..
Licensing a Beatles song, particularly an iconic track like "Hey Jude," is one of the most expensive music licensing endeavors, frequently costing in the high six-figure range for a single use in film or television. The original master recordings are rarely allowed to be used and come at a premium price, as the Beatles' company, Apple Corps, and music publisher Sony/ATV maintain tight control over their catalog.
