I never said they were not acclaimed, I said they were not AS acclaimed. You seem to have trouble understanding what people say.

Jackson sold some of the publishing rights to Sony, he owned only about 50% at his death. He never got royalties for the songs, they still went to The Beatles, and he never owned the recordings. The fact that he invested in The Beatles showed that he recognised their major long term importance in that he thought it would be a good investment.
