That is an excellent question and it was harder to answer than I thought it'd be because Google only gave me a bunch of outdated articles.

The answer seems to be Sony but that answer is based on a year old article about a court case that was being initiated a year ago

Edit: Aaaand it was settled confidentially so I got no fucking idea. The answer is apparently some combination of Sony and Paul McCartney
