- Thread starter Suzie

fukk that devil cac
His fam(mom and kids) are the beneficiaries , they don’t make any decisions regarding what’s done.
His family hasn’t done anythingAnd it doesn't help your immediate family is a bunch of dumb a$$holes for selling off your legacy either...
MJs estate own his music and others in MIJAC. The estate sold off other publishing catalogs he owned.
His kids didn’t do anything.I hope my future kids don't do anything this stupid with my (Novels) works if I die...Like selling them off for fukking peanuts...
Yes it’s a good deal. I just wish they had got more for SONY/ATV
Not unless he can come up with hundreds of millions cash. He should have purchased it when offered back in the 80s
He was about to get it back anyhow. You rights revert back to you after 56 years
The fist beatles songs were made in 1962......
FRIED MASON
Superstar
Mike FIRED John Branca for attempting this bullshyt (selling catalog) when he was alive as well as being in cahoots with SONY....

All things considered the kids should be the "ESTATE" if the kids are not making these decisions why is the so called "ESTATE" doing these deals unilaterally???
See what I'm saying only the family should be making these decisions not lawyers with no oversight...1 billion bucks is peanuts? If your kids don't know what to do with them and they are not getting a good return, they should sell it to someone for who it is a lot more valuable to. Just like all the small startup firms doing exists because they don't really have the scale, knowledge or money to make it earn. But to Google or Apple that might be a gold mine.I hope my future kids don't do anything this stupid with my (Novels) works if I die...
And it's not your novels they are selling, it's the rights to novels that you bought cheaply.

you know how hard it is to actually write books... the fact remains yes books are a different medium than music but I don't want my kids to get screwed look at the family that sold their rights to the godfather the movie studio screwed them over and they had to sue them to get royalties off it. Who's to say my kids wont make a billy from my works I'd be proud but let's be real here every time we hear about Estates and a musicians family it's fukking bad news where the family is getting screwed over by the music labels because they stop at nothing to have these catalogs... it seems that the family doesn't see the importance of a recurring royalty check that passed down through the generations...
And lastly you don't BUY your rights to the novel if your the author, once you copyright them under your own name YOU OWN IT until the time of death...
