Re: Don in the press
While admittedly I'm no expert, I think the individual Eagles have had separate publishing entities for a while (Cass County - Don, Red Cloud - Glenn, Jeddrah Music - Tim, etc.), although Cass County and Red Cloud were both overseen by Lisa Thomas Music Services (she'd put "dba Cass County" for Don and "dba Red Cloud" for Glenn).
Each publishing entity is in charge of getting royalties from the music distribution of their client's work. So, let's say Don co-writes a song with Tim, like he did for "Do Something." They each get royalties. Don's publisher takes care of his share, and leaves Tim's publisher to worry about getting Tim's share.
One time, I was e-mailed by a girl who had performed a cover of "Take It to the Limit" and was selling it through MySpace. She was contacted by Lisa Thomas Music Services so that they could collect royalties for Don and Glenn from her. The girl asked Ms. Thomas about what she could do to give Randy his share, and Ms. Thomas gave her an address to write to, but that's it. The girl told me that the address Ms. Thomas had given her wasn't correct and Ms. Thomas couldn't give her any more information except to talk to ASCAP, that they might know. The girl asked me if I knew how to reach Randy because that hadn't worked for her either. Unfortunately, I had to tell her no, and as far as I know she was never able to give Randy his share.
In other words, Ms. Thomas did not concern herself with ensuring Randy got his third - she was working for Don and Glenn. Each Eagle for himself.
Perhaps Don is transferring the administration of Cass County Music to Warner/Chappell from Lisa Thomas Music Services in order to consolidate his royalty gathering. In 1994, Don's publisher for Eagles material was Black Cypress Music adm. by WB Music Corp; after 2000, Don's publisher on Eagles material was listed as "Privet Songs." I am unsure as to whether Privet Songs was administered by Warner/Chappell but it appears it will be now.
So, it seems to me that all of Don's Eagles publishing not currently administered by Warner/Chappell (Cass County for music prior to 1980, Privet Sounds for music after 2001 if that was not under their purview already) will now be transferred to Warner/Chappell administration. The names themselves will remain and simply be written in the same manner as Black Cypress Music - ie, "Cass County adm. by Warner/Chappell Music Corp.") Warner, which was already in charge of getting his royalties for his solo work, will now be in charge of getting royalties for all of his Eagles work. They will not concern themselves with getting royalty shares for any of the other Eagles.
I think that we as fans will see no difference - this is all behind-the-scenes business stuff.

Re: Don in the press
Just to add to the confusion the credits for Inside Job list 'Wisteria Music' for Don's part of the publishing. What happened to that?

Re: Don in the press
I thought the publishing company represented the songwriters. As two separate people Don and Glenn each have their own publishing company. They always have had separate companies (so do the others - Wow & Flutter Music & Jeddrah Music). If you go back & look at songbooks or album cover credits the Henley-Frey songs have always been attributed to Cass County Music/Red Cloud Music until LROOE when it changed to Privet Music/Red Cloud. On the song Long Road Out Of Eden, the credit is Privet/RC/Jeddrah to reflect the Henley-Frey-Schmit authorship. This is about songwriting. Their other interests as members of the band are taken care of by their management.
If there have ever been any disputes over 'intellectual property' between Cass County & Red Cloud, the ordinary fan is never going to know about them.
