(TV) Curious on TV & Aerosmith

["Casey, Leo J" <CaseyL@VOLPE.DOT.GOV>]

Question:

1) Does Television own the rights to its catalogue or does Elektra (and Capital)?

2) Does Verlaine own the rights to his 'solo' catalogue?

3) If the answer to 1 or 2 is no, then how did TV / Virgin get to release studio 
stuff on the "Miller's Tale", and how did TV/or band get rights to release 
the Japanese cd "The Best of Television and Tom Verlaine"?

>From yesterday's Boston Globe: 
As big as Aerosmith is, the group does not own its catalog, 
having signed away the publishing rights to the corporate suits in 
the '70s. ''It would be wonderful and it would be right if more 
artists owned their own music,'' adds Tyler, ''but when you're up 
and coming, the wolves see you coming and they make you sign 
on the dotted line with hopes that you hit big and then they can really 
reap and suck your blood dry.''
