Many many years ago, prior to MJ's hands starting to wander, He had made more money than Gawd, but he and his hangers-on (mostly with the same last name) were bleeding him dry.

Quincy Jones (one of the truly great people on this planet) still had MJ's ear, since it was QJ that had produced MJ's early stuff, and had gotten MJ set up in the business on his own (pre Sony).

Quincy kept telling Michael that he had to invest in things (beside antiques, klitzy art and small PJ's) in order to survive the years to come.

QJ brokered the deal for MJ to purchase all the copyrights to the entire Beatles music collection.

MJ, over the years, has been 'otherwise occupied' to do much new with the collection.

Since his death, his 'hangers-on' have resurfaced, and are once again bleeding him dry. Now that MJ's refusal to 'do anything' with the Beatles collection has been buried (pardon the pun), you are seeing the results of the first legal access to that collection in 25 years.

Just remember where the profits are going. Somebody has to pay all the attorneys that are fighting over what's left of him. Somebody even has to pay Joe.
