snoop1130 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Michael Jackson's estate sues Disney and ABC By ASSOCIATED PRESS Michael Jackson's estate is suing ABC and parent company Disney over a two-hour documentary on the singer's last days, which they claim improperly used the King of Pop's songs, music videos and movies. The lawsuit filed in federal court in Los Angeles on Wednesday alleges that last week's special, 'The Last Days of Michael Jackson,' illegally used significant excerpts of his most valuable songs, including 'Billie Jean' and 'Bad,' and music videos, including 'Thriller' and 'Black or White.' It also says ABC used clips from the estate's 2016 Spike Lee-directed documentary, 'Michael Jackson's Journey from Motown to Off the Wall,' and from the 2009 feature film 'Michael Jackson's This is It.' The lawsuit alleges at least 30 violations and seeks unspecified damages and an injunction against further use of the estate's intellectual property.

theguyfromanotherforum Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Sue them. Disney will go after you if you try and legitimately sell original licensed Disney product bought and paid for fair and square and here they are flat out stealing content for their own profit. Scumbags. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
