A shutterbug who just published a photo book featuring Michael Jackson's glittering glove is telling the King of Pop's lawyers to beat it.
In a Manhattan federal court suit made public this morning, Henry Leutwyler claims Jackson's estate and a California auction house are trying to block sales of his "Neverland Lost: A Portrait of Michael Jackson."
The suit seeks an order declaring that Leutwyler has the right to distribute the 96-page hardcover, which was released yesterday with a list price of $45.
In his court filing, the Swiss-born photog says he snapped images of Jackson's famed white glove and other stage accessories with the permission of Julien's Auctions before the company put them up for bid last year in Times Square.
Some of Leutwyler's shots appeared last year in Conde Nast Portfolio magazine, and he says he "was informed of no limitations, contractual or otherwise, upon his usage of the photographs."
But last month, Leutwyler learned from Julien's lawyer that "the Jackson estate" believed he was "violating its rights" and that the estate's lawyers "were very aggressive."
"Leutwyler has a reasonable apprehension that Julien and the estate of Michael Jackson (and/or its related entities) will bring suit against Leutwyler," according to his pre-emptive legal action.
Julien's didn't immediately return a call for comment.

I knew there was something fishy about these pictures. They were taken in a warehouse for chrissake. No way did MJ knew of this...nor did he agree to it.

Everyone and their mama want to make a quick buck. Pathetic.

Thank God the Estate lawyers stepped in!! I am sick of this abuse of MJ and his effects even after his death.

Hurray! That was my very first thought when I heard about this book. You photograph crates full of stuff and want to make a name by invasion of privacy?? FINALLY!

Here's another thread about Mr. Leutwyler's attempt of riding MJ's coat tails.

Honestly,have not seen an artist commercialized as much as MJ,both in life and in death.It's just sad that some people look at michael and see just money and I dont see it ending soon.
