" i should be more responsible for the accuracy of the article than Merrick.?"

It is not a question of accuracy. The article is accurate.

If it stated a falsehood or assumption as fact it would be inaccurate. It does neither, to my knowledge.

"You found the information very quickly, why couldn't he?"

The publisher is indeed EG Music, which Eno set up. However, I have no idea if Eno still holds ownership. As you rightly point out, the Beatles don't own Northern Songs.

Thing is, publishing rights only apply to using cover versions. To use the original version you usually need more, the rights to the original sound recording and commonly - depending on the contrat the artist had - the permission of the artist.

Given how those also stack up as being solely Eno's responsibility in the past and the unlikelihood that someone has seen that catalogue and thought it wanted buying up as a money-spinner, it is a fair assumption the original rights still still hold.
