A big thanks to Mr. Joseph Self who was of tremendous help in putting this piece together. He wrote a deep analysis of the case in 1993 (before the case officially concluded!), and was kind enough to dig back into things with me. He’s an attorney and a Beatles fan, and his article does an incredible job at clearly explaining the many facets of the suit..
