Someone at Sony has to be helping Michael. There's a lot of clues in the production and editing of the those songs, and the insert and cover of the new album that needed to be placed and quality control would be required. Prince's symbol got through, was perfectly "discovered" before printing, and removed on time. That's very well done and pretty crucial, that the cover was viewed publicly and the symbol had a chance to be discovered and so then removed, before any CDs were actually sold, how lucky! The movie, same story, TII had all sorts of strategic little tiny clues that had to be placed just right (keep-a-watchin at :18 of the trailer), you can't just leave these details to chance in someone else's hands. Having someone inside Sony is really needed because this project can't be risked by someone catching something at the last minute and changing it. What if someone saw "always nice to sing with my brother" and decided it HAD to be an error and changed it to "brothers"? What if someone cropped out the hotel name on the HT handwritten lyrics pic because of size restrictions at final editing? I don't understand the business so perhaps my examples are poor, use your imagination. There are so many small nuances that we have almost all agreed were very carefully written into the script, it seems terribly risky to just send it all out from the estate and cross your fingers.I also don't understand why Sony would want so badly to be rid of Michael, so as to get the catalog. Seems they are partners and work together to make a lot of money. I would imagine Michael might be an asset to Sony and not just for his brand, but also for his business sense. Who's to say they don't get along smashingly in the post Mottola years? It's complete speculation on my part but who knows. Sony did pay Michael a whole ton of money for all his old music. A record breaking ton of money. If they wanted the catalog I'm not sure they would have entered into any contract with the Estate, hoping it would bear financial burden considering the less then flattering method of demise (weirdo drug addict), and then subsequently offer to buy the catalog from the Estate.
