In the light of the recent lawsuit over the "Last photoshoots" documentary, I was thinking about the concept of "Michael's image and likeness" and the Estate's claims for copyrights. Here's what I don't understand: 1. The Estate owns "Michael's image and likeness" and managed to shut down...

All these recent events with tabloid lies and attempts of fans to disprove them – again – got me thinking… in 10, 20, 50 years, after the dust has cleared, what will become of Michael’s legacy as a person? In my mind there is no doubt that his music, his short films, his...
