Exclusive: Michael Jackson, even in death, remains in the middle of the current musical chairs deals in the declining record industry.
For all these years, Michael’s MiJac Publishing has been administered سے طرف کی Warner Chappell, part of what is now Warner موسیقی Group. MiJac includes not only Michael’s hits that he wrote, like “Billie Jean” and “Beat It,” but a vast number of other hits including those of کرن, رے Charles, Curtis Mayfield, and Sly and the Family Stone.
Warner Chappell doesn’t own MiJac but it administers the rights to it and collects hefty fees. With WMG for sale, and talk of Warner Chappell being sold off, MiJac would seem like an integral part of their story.
But there’s a hitch that I can reveal to you: MiJac is leaving Warner Chappell and going to become part of Sony/ATV موسیقی Publishing, the company that Michael Jackson’s estate co-owns with Sony and contains the Beatles catalog.
According to sources, this arrangement was written into the MiJac contract with Warner Chappell years ago. It would be triggered سے طرف کی the release of the اگلے Jackson album–in this case, the حالیہ “Michael”–and the repayment of loans.
The اقدام سے طرف کی MiJac to Sony/ATV is a big deal for many reasons. With both WMG and EMI موسیقی for sale, Sony
Sony/ATV could be kicking the tires of each company’s publishing divisions for purchase. But Warner Chappell might be less interesting to Sony ATV considering they’re already getting Mi Jac. And without MiJac, Warner Chappell–which just had a down quarter–might not look so good to other potential buyers.
What may happen now: the newer, and very hot, BMG موسیقی Rights will likely make a play for EMI موسیقی Publishing. EMI Music–the record company, which has the Beatles albums in its catalog–the physical albums and box sets–could then be merged with another record company like Sony موسیقی or, مزید horrifyingly, Warner Music. Stay tuned.

"Ben"
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And آپ my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
(You've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there

آپ feel you're not wanted anywhere

If آپ ever look behind
And don't like what آپ find
There's something آپ should know

Now it's "us", now it's "we"

I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see آپ as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben

According to the federal suit, obtained سے طرف کی TMZ, T-Line is downright "defiant," sardonically writing a blog that says, "...it SUCKS TOTAL BOLLOCKS when people steal those creations..."
The suit seeks $750 for each image illegally used, as well as statutory damages of $150,000.
Bravado filed two other infringement suits today against two other companies for unauthorized MJ

Gone Too Soon
Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon
