As a devoted member of the #MJArmy, I am deeply concerned about the potential sale of Michael Jackson's catalog by the Estate. It is absolutely crucial that we unite and take action to prevent Sony Music from profiting off Michael's hard work and talent, especially considering his clear disapproval of their involvement in his career.
Michael Jackson was not only an iconic musician but also a visionary who revolutionized the music industry. Throughout his life, he faced numerous challenges and obstacles, including battles with record labels that sought to control him. One such label was Sony Music, which Michael openly expressed his dissatisfaction with.
In 2002, during a public speech in Harlem, New York City, Michael passionately declared: "Sony... I'm leaving them... There's a conspiracy going on." These words were echoed in an interview with Jesse Jackson later that year when he stated: "I don't want to say too much because I don't want them to get me."
It is evident that Michael wanted nothing to do with Sony Music due to their alleged mistreatment and manipulation. Therefore, it is unjustifiable for Sony or any other entity to profit from his catalog against his wishes.
The only individuals who should have control over Michael Jackson's catalog are those closest to him – his beloved mother Katherine and his children Prince, Paris, and Bigi. They are the ones who truly understand and cherish his legacy.
Furthermore, selling off this precious catalog would not only disrespect Michael's memory but also deprive future generations of experiencing the magic he created through music. We owe it not only to ourselves as fans but also as guardians of artistry and justice.
By signing this petition today, we can send a powerful message demanding that the Estate respects Michael Jackson's wishes by refraining from selling his catalog without consent from Katherine Jackson or any of his children. Together, we can ensure that Michael's legacy remains intact and protected.
Join the #MJArmy in our fight to preserve the integrity of Michael Jackson's music and honor his memory. Let us stand firm against Sony Music and any other entity seeking to exploit his artistic genius for their own gain.
Sign now to protect MJ's catalog and show the world that we will not allow his legacy to be tarnished!
