*Bump*
Anyone with any renewed information on all of this? I was reading a little of this thread and it seems that Michael will be getting the master recordings this year and with his already ownership of the publishing rights, will exclusively own every part of his catalogue, is this correct?
I didn't quite understand the EU intervention. What is it trying to intervene on exactly? Is SonyBMG trying to buy something which would make them too powerful? Is this similar to the Heathrow airport debate that's going on now from this one company owning the UK's 7 most popular airports?
It seems that Michael is waiting to get his finances in order and everything else with loose ends before releasing this album and rightly so. I'd want a clean slate as well with everything that has gone on.
Also, I don't know if I read this correctly... his loan repayments for the Fortress loan... are these coming directly out of his payments from Sony/ATV each month? Wise decision... How long is this loan going to last? There must be a substantial amount of that $300M gone by now, it's been several years since the trial was over and so he could get things running again.
I know there's a lot of questions here, but love some to be explained.
