Sony butt-kicked by MJ BIG TIME!!

Well for those who didn't see TMZ live today, read these articles, I bet there will be more to come:

http://www.tmz.com/2009/10/12/paul-anka-i-get-half/

And of course they knew all along this would happen, but Sony just made a big OOPS! They didn't check the song before releasing. Paul Anka is co-writer, and will get a big slice of the cake! So less money left for Sony, that already would only gain 10% of the profit. Why would Branca admit that quickly the song was also Anka's? That they would do anything to make it right for Anka at this point? Normally there would be some legal fighting first….But this was just exactly as planned! Sony will lose big bucks here, all of them flying right into Anka's pockets!

I advise you to watch the video of TMZ live today once they have uploaded it (http://www.tmz.com/videos/ TMZ Live), it's hilarious… I wonder what else will happen …

I think someone at Sony is packing his bag at this very moment…

Mike would out think Sony, he just did…Brilliant brilliant…brilliant! Well done Michael Jackson, again…Cool

Our dearest Michael is really a genius.
Sony will be obligated to pay a porcentage to Paul Anka, but Sony also has to pay 50% to Michael...
Really crazy! of the Pop

Not a small "f*ck up" by Sony to say the least. How embarassing too...LOL

Wow amazing. That's all I have to say.

LMAO

Thanks, SWEET news to read!

MJ, the King, is still the Puppet Master of Sony.... pulling their strings!

Yeah, MJ!!!!!!

Sony is getting exactly what they deserve. That's what they get for not doing proper investigation into MJ's songs before releasing. Like I have said repeatedly of the naysayers and haters UNJUST NEVER PROSPERS. I wonder what else MJ has in store for good ole Sony. Only time will tell. Way to go MJ! Keep the Faith!

Sony got what they deserve, like Sweet1 said, I wonder what else is in store for Sony........

Good point, Souza. I am also surprised at how fast they resolved with Anka, to the point where they are going to include the original version with just MJ and Anka in the CD. Less money for Sony indeed. I think they didn't see this coming.


The original version, with just Jackson and Anka, will be included in the two-disc soundtrack, along with the orchestral version, Sony said.

How could Michael have "stolen" something he co-wrote, which no one is disputing he did??

Laughing so much....
We knew there was something to come, didn't we?
I only thought a Monday was the wrong release date - we were used to Tuesday for the news to happen....

Harvey is having a great time again and look at the file's name:

CELEBRITIES JUSTICE

Harvey, you are doing indeed a GREAT JOB!

Chapeau!

Very interesting video.

Argh! I can't open any of the youtube links provided. They all say copyright restrictions On the other hand Sony is only getting a fraction of what they deserve IMO. Way to go Michael

Can you or someone say in about 25 words or less, or make it 10, what was so interesting about it.

I love the title of this thread

That's sooooooooo awesome...I'm at work now...and while I read it here...
they reported it on the radio...50 % for Anka *lol*

Heavyhearts,
I love that article by MJ Magical Child. Thanks for posting. Keep the Faith!

Michael is a genius! The artist once again out-thought them all!

MIGHT BE THE REASON WHY THE SONG WAS SENT ON A PLANE PRIVATELY.

LOL.

COULD HAVE BEEN THAT MICHAEL MADE THIS IDEA AND HAVE BRANCA WORK IT OUT WITH SONY, MADE AN AGREEMENT THAT IT WILL BE RELEASED BLA BLA BLA WITHOUT SONY REALIZING THIS IS AN OLD SONG ETC.

WITHOUT SONY CHECKING IT FIRST,...

LOL I SEE I SEE I NOW GET WHY IT THE HAS TO FLY PRIVATELY.

MICHAEL YOU MADE ME CRACKED UP IN THIS SCENARIO!

as I said before, sony sucks and that's what they deserve

I just LOVE this bit by TMZ......

it's amazing ... when Paul Anka woke up this morning he had no idea he'd
get the same cut as Jackson's estate. Sadly for Sony ... they didn't
know either.

Heyy Mottola! Do u need any extra-suitcase?!

Btw-my twitter yesterday:
GO GK!!! KICK THEM BACK! YOOOPIE! Ferrero-Night for All!! L.O.V.E.& SONY&P.A. LMAO....about 9 hours ago from web

I knew it, i knew it! Sweeeeeeeeet Revenge!

Brilliant, thanks.

i think that this was the reason "Back" from mjjcommunity wrote that this won´t be a Comeback ...this will be a "take-over"!!! I´m gonna post the stuff back wrote about Sony later on my topic "Back - screenhots"

I can only hope in my wildest dreams that Back knows what he's talking about.

IMO BACK = Michael

Pammy wrote:IMO BACK = Michael

Could be..hmmm Pretty convincing...And He knows smth for sure!

Besides His username.. ------->BACK<----------

i guess if he had chosen the username I´m back ...would be to obvious / in-your-face LOL

Erm...would someone fill me in on Back? I'm really lost.

I´m sooo excited about this. I couldn´t stop writing about this in the thread I started last night (night for me) as you guys who were there know. Love love love TMZ´s approach and how they totally laugh at SONY. And Mike I bow to your amazing intellect

Karma is a b*tch and we haven´t seen nothin´ yet.

It's a long thread, but really worth reading it.

Alright Michael!!!

You know, Ive been reading some of the comments left on LKL about this sony/song/paul anka thing by folks who think he is dead and I really wonder how on earth they could believe he is dead.
We all know MJ was a genious.....not just musically but in life in general. Yet he was afraid for his life...weve all heard the tapes and how scared he was. Do they seriously think after ALL the genious things MJ has done that he would suddenly turn stupid and allow himself to be killed/murdered and leave his children fatherless? I think not.

MJ, before he faked his death had EVERYTHING worked out and he KNEW this would happen, cus he planned it this way!!
SONY is SEETHING with anger right now and I love MJ for it!!! WOOOT!!!

I actually ment some other stuff from the interview but thats one reason to:P

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
IM A PLATINUM MEMBER
Sorry i know this is very OFF-TOPIC but wel never mind sorry

I am having a goooood time!!

You know a very nice side effect of all of this hype is that Paul Anka will get a share.
I think this is really a wonderful thing.

Michael always cared for elderly artists not always having had the best contracts at the time and suffering from this afterwards. He always fought for their rights.

I like Paul Anka a lot and do wish him well.

"Put your head on my shoulder..." is unforgettable as so many other songs of his talent.
I was little then.

Michael, I love you more. Thank you.

A spokeswoman for Sony Music declined to comment. Unbelievable silence.

One of the estate's two administrators, John McClain, worked with Jackson at the Sony Corp unit. So he knew it was co-written all the way, I suppose.

I still cannot get over the fact these men resolved this at the speed of light! Fastest resolution in music history. lol...Wow, MJ.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091013/us_nm/us_jackson_6

@Grace - yes, I'm glad he is getting his share, also.

Lol this is brilliant, I was wondering why MJ would release an old song for the movie!!
MJ really out thought Sony this time, i'm delighted.

I love this song!! I forgot about it till you mentioned it!!! Jeeeeeez............great song!

Go Michael!
