Of course... www.billboard.com/business/legal/michael-jackson-estate-responds-sale-early-jackson-5-recording-1235546705/Michael Jackson Estate Says Digital Sale Of Early Jackson Recording Violates Estate Rights The Michael Jackson estate isn’t happy about a recently-announced digital sale of an early Jackson 5 recording, warning that it “violates the Jackson Estate’s rights” and could lead to a lawsuit. A Swedish company called anotherblock announced Wednesday (Dec. 6) that it would digitally release a 1967 version of the song “Big Boy,” claiming it represented the first time Jackson’s voice had been put on tape. But in a letter sent Thursday, the estate’s attorney, Jonathan Steinsapir, pointedly advised the company about several problems that might “expose you to liability to the Jackson Estate.” Among other things, the letter (which was obtained by Billboard) warned that the estate owns all rights to Jackson’s name, image and likeness rights, along with his trademarks. “Given this,” Steinsapir wrote, “any use of Michael’s name, image, and likeness in marketing, advertising or in the product itself violates the Jackson Estate’s rights.” At issue in the budding dispute is a 1967 version of the Jackson 5 song “Big Boy,” a subsequent version of which was commercially released in 1968. The earlier version is called the “One-derful Version” because it was recorded at Chicago’s One-derful Studios. According to Rolling Stone, that version of the song first surfaced in 2009 and was released in 2014 on vinyl. On Wednesday, anotherblock said it would release the track for the first time in digital format, doing so in partnership with Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, and with a company called Recordpool, which purportedly controls the intellectual property rights to the recording. The sale, which included $25 and $100 packages with various other goodies, is meant to continue through the weekend via the anotherblock site. But in its letter on Thursday, the estate warned that whatever deals anotherblock had struck to facilitate the “Big Boy” sale could be invalid if they covered rights that were controlled solely by Michael’s estate, like his trademark rights. And the estate’s lawyers strongly questioned the claim that the “One-derful Version” was Jackson’s first studio recording. |

What irritates me so much with these companies is that they never have any plans to release the music themselves. It's like they just don't want to sell it to people. |

Can you all please cease and desist from talking about Michael Jackson please, lest we get a letter from Johnny Branca from the Bronx?

Okay. Maybe 'Will You Be There' is his best ever song.

"I love my fans...I mean, I really love them and if I could meet every one of them, I would. I watch television and see shows that follow other celebrities and how they get so mad about fans wanting to say hi or get a autograph...They made me... So, if I can give them two minutes of my time and a friendly hello, it's well worth it. I've lived my life by the fans and I'll die by the fans."
~Michael Jackson~

Well let's discuss over a beer. But in essence as much as I hate edits, I don't think WYBT suffers from the FW version. |

Looks like the Estate put a halt to the auction of all those tapes.  |
