It is unclear if this the deal that Katherine Jackson tried to blocked in court all last year. All court documents have been blocked out and under seal. A source close to the deal has mentioned that Michael’s three children have signed it off against Katherine’s wish.
i know!!! that was exactly my reaction when i saw that! my heart dropped...Nooooooooooooo! WhaTTTT??
Katherine is very old and in pretty poor health from what we've heard. I'm sure she's had a stroke?Sony Music Buys Stake in Michael Jackson’s Catalog - MJVibe
Sony Music has agreed to purchase half of Michael Jackson’s publishing and recorded masters catalog in a deal valued at over $1.2 billion.www.mjvibe.com
By that point we're all be too dead to really care about thatEventually Sony will have all Mj’s catalog and the Beatles just like they planned. Branca
MJ has partnered with them for a long time so it makes sense... but SONY? Of all industry companies?

Exactly, Michael Isn't here anymore and if his kids are happy with the deal then I guess that's what matters the most now. They don't seem to be interested in running the Estate and the HUGE amount money they will get from this is enough for them to never have to worry about money ever, even their grand grand children and so forth will be rich just from this deal alone.Dispite not liking this deal due to MJs own words and battles with Sony. Times are changing, music is changing, Michael has past for 15 years and I doubt holding on to all rights and responsibilities regarding the catalogue forever might not be as interesting.
All the stuff related to the estate should be for his kids and if this deals is as good as some here describe it and if the kids gave permission, then I guess hopefully it was a good choice. At least they got a decent sum of money out of it.
"A source close to the deal" saying Michael’s children have signed it off doesn't necessarily say very much. Not protesting and saying yes are very different things.
It was complicated because he “owed” them more albums than he had first been told.MJ's relationship with Sony was "complicated".
15+ years ago. There is absolutely no knowing what Michael Jackson would want in 2024, were he still alive. Every major artist is selling their catalog. Full selling their catalog. And not keeping 51 % like the estate does. People should stop pretending to know what Michael would want and stop to pretend to know better.Plenty of wrong with this of course, MJ was vehemently against the sale of his catalog and always maintained that he wanted full ownership and such. But the deal has already gone through and as fans there's nothing we can do about it and endlessly complain will change nothing, so I'd rather look at this on a positive side.
Well, most likely without the "sleazy bastard" Michael would have never owned the Beatles publishing.I'm still angry because that sleazy bastard Branca was working behind Michael's back for decades and he should have never gotten involved with them
No. 50 % (or 49 % what originally was stated) belongs to Sony. Nothing more.Until Michael's children have access to the estate, everything belongs to Sony.
The wishes we know are 15+ years ago. Things are different now. Opinions and wishes can change. So no, we don't know if that would be against his wishes, were he still alive.I doesn't this go against Michael's wishes?
Using? They are paying 600 million dollars to his estate. I would like to be used like that.Well they are they using mike even in death
It was complicated thanks to mottola the devil who was controlling sonyIt was complicated because he “owed” them more albums than he had first been told.
but this money is nit going to mjs kids its goimg to the estateUsing? They are paying 600 million dollars to his estate. I would like to be used like that.
There is more to his death than that. I don't know why it isn't being investigated.He died because of an incompetent doctor and because he had never recovered from the insomnia brought on by endless performing, and trauma.
Not to mention Number Ones, The Essential, The Ultimate Collection, Visonary and King of Pop compilations all in MJ’s lifetime.Reminder - Michael worked with Sony in 2008 for Thriller 25. Willingly. Not just a repackage of the album. Not just tacked on outtakes.
Newly commissioned remixes with new vocals, with MJ enthusiastically embracing magazine covers and interviews - something he hadn't done in years.
