I tend to believe so now that MJDH is down, and that I have just found the following about the 2012 movie ("2012" being a Sony film too) :

In a rather cruel media ploy, the creators of the upcoming science fiction movie "2012" are purposely feeding the flames of internet panic about the ridiculous claims that the world will end in 2012. This viral marketing campaign has created fake science websites and encourages people to search for “2012” on the Web.
Source : http://www.universetoday.com/category/2012/

It more than probable that they used the same kind of strategy to sell 'This is it' : a hoax, a buzz around the death, letting people think that Michael didn't really die.

I already talked about it in another thread, but I hadn't yet seen that article and I didn't know they had already set up hoax sites loaded with false information to promote a movie.

oh don't think you are going crazy...everything is possible until we have the truth...so it can be that way too.
i just hope people don't drink anyone's kool aid and give their entire dovotion to someone they don't know......i mean i was kind of confused when i read some members left the site too...i mean it was supposed to be for MJ and now they were devoted to amy's truth and well being....oh well i don't know maybe they know something we don't....i mean i for sure think the site is not owned by sony

Yep, but the article says "science websites" - i.d. sites where scientific theories were twisted and manipulated on purpose.
The sites about Mayan prophecies are of a different kind, one can choose to believe them or not, and most of the people don't care, but when one introduces the same fact, i.e. the destruction of the earth in 2012, sustained by scientifical evidences and physics theories, the impact on the minds is stronger, and people care

Well, if the site was created to use the death of one and the love and pains of the others to make money, I find it shocking and disgusting. We could have connected on many other sites dedicated to MJ and not exploring his death and our illusions.

In any case, whatever the end (that I hope happy) that will be an enlightening experience.

My husband would agree....

I am hoping that it is not true though.
It is sick if that is the case. I wanted to see 2012...and my kids too...but definitely won't if that is the case.

Besides...SONY are really only marketing to those that believe Mj did stage his death....there are millions of people who think he really is dead....the marketing won't reach them...they just think we are all nuts.

this had crossed my mind too - Kenny Ortega was ever so cautious about saying the word 'death' when talking about Michael b4 October 28th. And now he doesn't..if what u suggested turns out to be true I will be both angry and ashamed of living in a world where messing with people's minds and feelings are just another marketing ploy used by heartless crooks like Sony and AEG for profits Was MJDH a marketing tool for This is it ?

Most of the profits (90%) go to MJ's estate. and how would you explain, for example, Liz Taylor's opinion on the movie? she was more than pleased to see it and even thanked Kenny.

Sony have just unveiled their 2012 hoax and now the site make it clear that it's about the movie. But keep in mind that the site was launched, around January 2009, and people were frightened.
That Sony site is called The Institute for Human Continuity.

And Astroengine is one of the guys who had to deal with frightened people, and questioned the morality of such marketing practice.

So viral marketing is a possibility for This is it, too.

Frankly, I don't know what to do with Kenny Ortega and what to think about him. He was Michael's friend, but when it comes to This is it, he is also a Sony employee who signed a deal, a contract, a confidentiallity agreement....

I hope I'm wrong. Or I hope, that Michael is alive and participating to the whole thing. That would totally change the perspective.

The film does justice to Michael's work and person, so why wouldn't she be pleased to see it.
But that fact doesn't exclude the use of marketing strategies to sell the film, and the death hoax can be part of them.
