Okay some serious misinformation is going on.
Let's be real here. You're more of a legal expert than I am, but mistake if I'm wrong, I thought the lawsuit stated that the company Alki inherited, were basically the parent company of Pulse Entertainment? The ones that did this "Michael" performance, I could be wrong but I thought I read that, one of the companies went bankrupt, Alki purchased what they had and whatever was left, they made Pulse Entertainment..I'm not sure on that, but I recall the lawsuit saying something of that nature.
You are wrong.
There are two separate parts to this hologram technology. One is the motion capture, CGI, animation part. Second is the screen and the projection part. The second part is claimed to be patented by a company called Musion. They have their projection system called Musion Eyeliner.
The first part for both Tupac and Michael is done by a guy named John Textor. His initial company was Digital Domain, it went bankrupt. Digital Domain had been formed by Textor and James Cameron - the director of Avatar. Textor was the CEO. Chinese and Indian investors bought that company after it went bankrupt. Textor left the company and formed and now working under Pulse Entertainment name. This motion capture , CGI and animation part had nothing to do with Alki David. Alki had no connection or involvement with Digital Domain, he didn't buy them, he's not involved in Pulse.
When Digital Domain/ John Textor (now Pulse) did Tupac hologram they went to Musion Inc and got a license from them in 2012. Again Musion only provides the projection screen and system.
Alki David came into picture in 2014. He formed an exclusive agreement with Musion Inc to become the exclusive rep for the USA and Canada. Alki had absolutely no involvement in Tupac hologram. He had no involvement in Michael one.
Without that though, we know they used the same tech as the Tupac hologram, we know this from cellphone footage of both performances, in which both the projection screen which projects and mirrors the image, can be seen, in both performances. He owns some part of the tech. He has access to the specific's legally.
Technically he doesn't own the tech, Musion Inc and two guys behind it does. Alki David is simply their USA & Canada Exclusive licensor. And as I explained the projection technology is totally separate than the creation of the hologram
We don't, we're just going off of what we think we know as either casuals who simply don't care, or hardcore fans who pay attention to those tiny, intricate details. I don't think we can just write him off like that.
Well as a "hardcore" business and legal side fan I can write him off like that. One he had no involvement in any dead celebrity hologram, two he doesn't have a CGI/animation company, three in his sworn affidavit he said he didn't hear of the hologram until may 15, four during hearing they admitted they had no idea what projection system would be used and they are making assumptions and asked the judge to give them access so that they can see the projector.
So I'm 100% hardcore sure when he goes on to CNN and says the hologram was recorded at his company, he's blatantly lying. If requested I can provide screencaps from his sworn affidavit. He doesn't have any firsthand information.
You also need to know that Alki has started Hologram USA in the hopes of doing dead musician tours but none of the celebrities estates giving him any permission . He had announced an Amy Winehouse tour only to be shot down by her family. He's desperate for this publicity.
Oh and some other tidbits you don't know is 1) he sent an threatening email to Branca which Weitzman replied by saying don't do it and 2) One day before he asked Estate to credit him. Both were refused. So he's angry, he's vindictive and he's milking it.
The man who owns the patents to said technology says that they had to use a double. Oh yeah, we gotta write him off now as a liar and a person who has simply NO CLUE what he's talking about, simply because it fits our own personal belief. Got'cha.
As I said the patents are just the projection system. Alki doesn't own them, he's the USA Exclusive dealer. And we are writing him as a liar well because he lies and we have proof of it. He also strives through publicity. Google him. He paid someone a million dollars to flash President Obama and he tried to arrange a boxing match with Geroge Zimmerman. Let's not forget how he came up with the bogus DNA with MJ's secret son claim. He's not really reliable or trustworthy.
Uh, Michael's personal debts were paid off in July of 2012. Since then the only thing that has remained was Michael's publishing catalog which they expected to be cleared by the end of that year.
The kids aren't broke. There is nomore debt they'd be responsible for as the execs of Michael's estate.
Not true. Creditor claims, mortgages on Hayvenhurst and Condo and Mijac debt has been paid. Sony/ATV debt, Neverland debt, multi million lawsuits and IRS tax bill is still ongoing. So there's still debt to pay.
owns a company who do this for a living
The guy owns a company who makes these holograms
He doesn't own a hologram motion capture / CGI/animation company. He only licenses the projector screen and system. He wishes he could be doing such holograms hence his desperate attempts of lying on TV.
Edited to add: He's lying about his involvement with Tupac hologram as well. there are court records that show that his partnership with Musion didn't start until 2014. Also his current hologram capabilities is limited to what he showed on that CNN video - in other words making holograms of living people. He doesn't have the CGI capabilities yet, he wishes he could though.

Think of it like there's a cook who makes the food and there's a waiter who serves the food. In this example Textor is the cook in restaurant A, Alki at most is a new waiter in restaurant B.

edited to add: TVmix and filmon is Alki's websites. he reports and spins to his advantage on those sites. I wouldn't use them as fair and balanced news sources.
