??You would think they would have been doing mediation already!!Parties asked for another delay for the trial start date. They will try mediation.

Ivy any clues on what the discovery disputes is?
Everytime i come into this thread to get a updated it just break my heart to see Quincy doing this to Michael after he is gone. It would have been better if Quincy would have tooking care of this when Michael was alive it is just so sad to see this.
It's not about issues when MJ was alive. It's about This Is It and Immortal.

Defense counsel Zia F. Modabber argues "their position is they have the perpetual right to not have anyone else touch it without Mr. Jones' permission" although for years Jones did not complain about others remixing songs he produced for Jackson.

If that agreement was signed, I'm pretty sure they would go to Quincy each time, I don't think it's something Quincy would forget or ignore especially for a giant reissue such as Thriller 25. I'm interested to see how this ends up, if Quincy is truly owed money/compensation then I believe he deserves it.
I hope this gets over soon as well and that they get back on better terms, it's sad to see perhaps the most brilliant producer MJ worked with be at odds with his Estate.

Unless you meant the actual song Thriller, in which case I'll be quiet

Actually we know some stuff from the documents.
There have been remixes and album releases in the past when Quincy didn't make any claims. He only made this claims after MJ's death. This is not about forgetting to pay. Quincy was paid his royalties. He is however claiming he was supposed to be offered to remix these songs and then paid for that work.
The reason this goes to trial is that Quincy is claiming he has to be given first right to remix his songs and they need his permission to release his songs with other songs. What that means is that Quincy would control his songs - such as neither Cirque or Ba 25 albums could have been done without his permission and paying him extra. Obviously Estate isn't happy with Quincy's interpretation of the contract that would give Quincy control over these songs for forever.
