If they can show it despite the legal grounds the Estate have, then what does that mean?? That legal contracts mean nothing?? HBO are in breech of contract, why are they being so casual about this?

Statement from HBO - It's Still On "In a statement, HBO has responded to the lawsuit, claiming that it will not affect their support of the documentary. “Despite the desperate lengths taken to undermine the film, our plans remain unchanged,” the statement reads. “HBO will move forward with the airing of Leaving Neverland, the two-part documentary, on March 3rd and 4th. This will allow everyone the opportunity to assess the film and the claims in it for themselves." They will add up the profit against the loss in any court case and choose to air it then or not. This is what musicians do when they sample others music. Thieves the lot of them.

HBO would have to voluntarily pull it for fear of possibly losing the lawsuit. However, they’ve obviously chosen to take the risk.

If this is Taj's idea of proof then we're in big trouble with his rebuttal documentary series. Which incidentally even if the HBO doc get's cancelled should most definitely still go ahead. Things need to be addressed with hard facts and evidence that is available to put things right once and for all.

I don't understand their relevance then (Taj's), we already know what wade wrote in the opus long after these texts.

Wade is alleging they asked HIM to be at the memorial. That's one of the things he's lying about (He's also saying he was hired to do the Cirque show 3 times now lol)

The texts also show him asking to see Mike’s kids again. There’s nothing revalatory here, but it’s still good that we have even more proof of how Wade voluntarily wanted to be at his memorial and see his children. Compared to him saying now that he was forced to lie for all these years.

I'm glad the Estate is doing this. Yeah, maybe the optics of it are not perfect (some will undoubtedly call it a desperate attempt so silence victims), and it will likely not cause less people to see the film. But you have to draw a line somewhere. I'm glad that they're showing these channels that they won't be able to air unethical garbage journalism like this about MJ without the Estate pursuing them - even if it means finding a loophole in a 1992 contract (who would have thought the Bucharest concert would somehow factor into all of this?). They've also done the right thing by asking for a public arbitration.

What does this public arbitration mean? " USLegal Arbitration Law and Legal Definition Arbitration is an alternative means of settling a dispute by impartial persons without proceeding to a court trial. It is sometimes preferred as a means of settling a matter in order to avoid the expense, delay, and acrimony of litigation." Source: definitions.uslegal.com/a/arbitration/

I get arbitration, what I don't get is what it means if it is public?
