FANS have the power against Sony. DON'T BUY MJ ALBUMS! (Or any other $ony merchandise!) You might say "but MJ's three kids are benefiting". Katherine & the children each receive a large monthly stipend,regardless of how much is made by the estate. They'll continue to make this no matter what. (*editor's note* This is ALL they receive, seeing as how their father's legacy was stolen+creative control rests in the hands of money-hungry $ony, in perpetuity, unless the will is contested & new executors are appointed,the children aren't listed to gain control, ever in the current will! *END NOTE*) Only buy merchandise when the children grow up (*editor's note* in 5yrs Prince would be eligible to take over,if the will is contested by then. *END NOTE*) & take control, or when executors resign!! (*Editor's note* IF they ever do *END NOTE*) Where do your loyalties lie? Will you pay those who murdered MJ? Do you care enough not to buy anything $ony puts out? "WILL YOU BE THERE" FOR MJ?
(*Editor's note* Buying or having the MOST MJJ merchandise, does NOT make you a fan, or more of one. If you really care & love MJJ+his children, you will remember his message, & honor it by NOT supporting those that USED & ABUSED him in life & continue to do so in death. *END NOTE*)
It seems that this EXCUSE for NOT boycotting $ony/aeg et all is becoming more frequent: "It's stupid to boycott, because it will make the media make fun of MJ and or us~that's bad for his legacy." Is this word 'legacy' bandied about too much or what?? His legacy is ALREADY written, musically especially. He's been bashed by the media & nearly EVERY word of his twisted since 1988! Secondly, IS THIS what legacy has come to mean?? That we crawl to his abusers(media included) for any CRUMBS of positivity that they will give regarding MJ? Have they not brutally lynched him ALL his life, now we will stay silent on his KILLERS' actions & PAY THEM, just bc the media will be positive about it?! And it's not like the media will EVER come to understand MJ~are you that desperate for "positive attention for MJ" that you will do anything to recieve it? Is this really about Michael? Because Michael hardly EVER addressed the CONTINUAL slander in the media~and most have led by his example. Haven't the majority of fans been saying "the media is the same as tabloids, dont buy their trash!", ala Michael Jackson? If so, WHY the panhandling to the media now?? Personally, I perceive this excuse as selfish. In that, the fans are worried they will be mocked for their liking to MJ. I would say for their "allegiance to Michael", but clearly this is not the case. Michael didn't care about the medialoids, he didn't let it dictate his life OR "legacy". Niether should we.
WHAT FOLLOWS IS MUZIKFACTORY2's FURTHER COMMENTS REGARDING A BOYCOTT:
That being said, I respectfully disagree with the remarks regarding Sony Boycott. Post points out that even in 2002, Michael himself didn’t boycott Sony so why should we now? SIMPLY BECAUSE MICHAEL WAS ALIVE THEN, NOW HE IS MURDERED. There is no conspiracy. As an intelligent human beings, all we have to do is connect the dots to realize that Sony has been preparing Michael’s demise for a long time. I think most of us agree that Sony, for years, plotted against Michael to acquire the Sony/ATV Catalog. Michael himself, in numerous interviews, stated to us that there was A LOT OF CONSPIRACY AROUND HIM. At that time, AEG & CC weren’t the picture so he was talking strictly Sony. Sony was behind the child molestation allegations& Invincible album sabotage and they are one of the parties involved in Michael Jackson murder. "My level of trust will change. There's a lot of conspiracy going on. I'll say that much. A lot of it. All around me"
"Don't leave me, they are trying to kill me"
"I am afraid of my life and for my children. I am so scared"
"I'm very concerned about my life"
MICHAEL JACKSON
I ask you, if a company X murdered your mom or dad, would you support them? “Well Michael owns %50 of Sony, boycotting Sony hurts Michael”. First of all, technically, MJ owns only %25 percent. When Sony “helped” Michael to restructure his loan in 2005, Michael signed off for Sony to have the option to buy half of his share. Sony can execute that right today LEGALLY & RIGHTFULLY. Sony also acquired the right to match any offer and be a priority to own the rest of %25, when it is for sale.
Reasons the Catalog has not been sold YET is, first, the timing. It’s too soon, it’d be too suspicious. GO TO SONY/ATV’S WEBSITE. It says “Sony executives DECLINED to comment on status of the Jackson Estate's Sony/ATV stake". What a surprise that is! It’s not if the Catalog will be sold to Sony, it’s when! Secondly, Sony’s concern was that MJ’s share would end up in bankruptcy Court due to loans MJ borrow and mismanaged. Well, Sony has their man, Branca “managing” the business affairs now. Loan will be restructured, Michael is no longer spending, by marketing MJ name loan will be paid off so there is no such danger anymore. Sony executors sleep peacefully now, for chance.
"And then the Estate could move forward with the restructuring of the Sony/ATV deal" - Randy Phillips
Why is Randy Phillips of AEG concerned about what Estate does with Sony/ATV deal?
It’s not like, if we pour money to MJ unreleased songs, the children and Katherine will benefit each month. They get a certain percentage each month, regardless of how much comes in or goes out of the Estate, they will get the SAME amount, not more, not less. The only thing, you will accomplishing by contributing is paying Executors’ “incentive fee” and you are pulling the rug off of under us because without witholding our buying power, WE HAVE NO POWER.
So given everything that has happened, his murder and everything, we don’t know that Michael wouldn’t ask for us to boycott. It’s upto us to make that judgement call now that he is dead and I see absolutely no sense in paying people who killed Michael, who treated him unkindly despite of the billions he made for Sony! I would feel like I am betraying Michael and I love him too much to do so. We promised him we "will be there", so be there.
If your moral compass is leading you to put money in the pockets of those who killed Michael, be my guest if your conscience is clear. But let us not be under any pretention that you are doing so because you believe this is what’s good for Michael and his children.
To say "BOYCOT SONY" would be an understatement. Do NOT participate in anything Sony, AEG, CC or Branca endorses. Can’t you see, they are selling the Michael Jackson NAME to profit themselves under the banner of "but the estate gets some too" BS! Yes but does the children & Katherine have immidiate access to that money? NO!
Who do executors have issue letting Mrs Katherine have a seat and have a say in deals? She is NOT asking to be an executor, just have a seat! But that would mean, Katherine would know what Branca is doing with the money and that would be awful. IF Branca has Michael's well being in heart, SO DOES KATHERINE JACKSON, SO WHERE IS THE CONFLICT? Believe me, Branca is NOT working this hard to protect Michael’s well being or that of the children. Make no mistake, regardless of what it says on paper, BRANCA WORKS FOR SONY & AEG!
Every dime you contribute says “thank you for murdering Michael, here’s your reward”! Can you HONEST TO GOD tell me that if Michael was alive he would have given Sony the distribution rights of his unreleased songs? If your answer is no, why support it? Simple as that.
I think most of you just can’t wait to hear his new songs and only making excuses to comfort yourselves. Michael intended these unreleased songs for his children to release them, not SONY.
BOYCOT EVERTHING THAT AEG, SONY & BRANCA PUTS OUT…. DO IT OUT OF L.O.V.E
Exercise your buying power to let Sony, AEG & Branca know how you feel, otherwise, they could care less how you and I feel. The ONLY way they might hear us is if their wallets are affected. If you object to Sony boycott, you might as well give up your fight for MJ Justice, what reason do they have to listen to you.
Boycott until current executors resign or until MJ children take control.
SONY, I DON'T want the Unreleased songs, it's dripping Michael's blood. I'll buy when executors resign or MJ3 release them AS INTENDED BY MJ.
UNINFORMED "fans", by supporting deals by Branca, YOU ARE pulling the rug off from under us. SHOULD YOU BOYCOTT SONY? http://www.mj-777.com/?p=3005
Don't shout "Justice for MJ" if you're pouring $ to his murderers! BOYCOTT SONY & EVERYTHING BRANCA PUTS OUT! Our ONLY power = buying power
GO BUY THE DAMN ALBUM & SHUT UP ALREADY! (re: Teddy Riley, Karen Faye, Randy Jackson tweets, etc) http://xltweet.com/show/?id=57515F5452
