I don't know, but this does not sound like good news to me. Michael wanted 100% of his ties to Sony cut. This is the work of  Branca & Mc Clain and that FAKE will.  

Didn't MJ say "Sony Kills".....  :?  :?   Watch a see, Branca & Mc Clain will eventually sell that catalogue back to Sony. This was their plan all along.

EDIT: The full quote for those that don't know (I just assumed everyone did). Is Sony Kills the Music. Just thought I better clarify b4 someone decides to correct me

okay what the hell is going on? this is big news. it's on every news channel. there's something here for us, we need to find it.

the deal seems pretty lucrative. if we believe michael is alive and put out TII as a message to fans, he obviously didn't want to cut ties completely with Sony, since they owned the rights to distribute it. god, i don't know.

okay michael, we're going to need help figuring this one out, please.

OMG! This is GREAT NEWS!  Contract for 10 albums over 7 years and he left behind enough for 3!   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:   They could never, never, never recoup those costs by putting out 7 more compilations to make a total of 10 albums!    We've had nothing but compilations for years!  This SHOW gets better every day!    :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Hurry back, Michael!  You owe us seven more albums besides the three already from the grave!    :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

This is not good at all    Michael hated Sony, but his family obviusly dosent :?  It's all about money. Why would Michael attach himself to Sony again ? No, this is really BAD news, imo. I'm now 50/50  This is the first time I have ever doubted this hoax.

[KINGdom52]

I don't think he hated Sony. He hated Tommy Mottola.
 Afterall isn't the owner of 50% of Sony ?
IDK. At first I thought it was great news then I become more sceptic about it and now I don't know what to think. Something is not right , there is something we can't see yet.
Something is missing but what ? :?:

"Back catalog" refers to MJs older music that was produced. SONY now has the right to sell that collection of MJ music in pieces or as a whole.

But I thought the rights to his music reverted back to him last year??  How do they now have the right to sell it?  :?

Can I sell something to myself ?  8-)

Not sure but I know that in real estate you can sell your property to a proxy who is working on your behalf.  :lol:

Since my head was spinning, I spoke to someone who is more knowledgeable about contract law. Here’s the breakdown. Two things are  in place. 1) New deal of 10 albums over  7 year period…until 2017. 2)Distribution rights of MJs music from the original 80s contract.  The two things were merged to bring together one contract that is now in sinc with the 2017 end of contract date. Original 80s contract gave $ONY  distribution rights until 2015. The new contract runs until 2017 so they wanted to make them match up. The 2 yr extension merely stretches the distribution rights to match the end of  the newer contract. Anything that is recorded under the Michael Jackson  name from the original 80s contract until 2017 will be distributed by $ONY.

to
Posted Mar 16th(1+6=7) 2010 12:10AM (2+1+1+2+1=7) by TMZ Staff

Are you kidding me? Now I really believe that they are aware of all....
Maybe they want to help us? They know also the 777 thing....
Why should they exactly change it to these dates?

That's what they have written.... Also very strange again...


Michael Jackson estate has signed the biggest deal ever in music -- worth up to $250(2+5=7) million with a guarantee of $200 million.

The estate made the deal with Sony Music Entertainment. According to the Associated Press, the contract is for 10 projects over 7 years.

And we're told Sony gets a two-year extension for the right to distribute the Michael Jackson catalog -- to 2017.



Ok
--> 7 Years, 2017, worth 250 = 777



P.S.
thanks to lovemj4everandever :
Look at the tagline....A TWO YEAR extension would make it 2019! NOT 2017! The deal was signed in 2008!!!!!!!

That's great, they are just telling us, that he is alive......
