if yes then you can see that the copyright of MJ is for "Authorship: sound recording, performance, production, compilation, LYRICS."
i'm curious..could i have a link to that? and why is it copyrighted two days after Michael's death?
i do suppose i could do an application like that. i hope it's not government fraud, being commited by them. i'm just sayin...
it feels like a piggyback lyric, right after his death..especially the part about 'obituary'. MJ never wrote about his own death in lyrics before..
i guess MJ thought that song was so unimportant, that he copyrighted it two days after his death.
but then again, there are a lot of people named Michael Jackson, in this world.
and, when i copyrighted stuff, nobody from the copyright office checked to see if i was really me, when i used my own name..
so basically, the official word is, that Michael Jackson, wrote on a copyright form, the year of his birth 1958, and the year of his death 2009, then copyrighted the song two days later, after he filled out the application...he forgot something, and he edited the application. i guess.
i guess sony's publicity stunt you are talking about, includes the use of the United States Copyright Office.
looking back, i wonder if MJ was behind the leaks of Xscape Hold My Hand and such, because he didn't care anymore, was disenchanted, was set for life, wanted us to hear complimentary stuff, and, he wanted us to hear the real inspired MJ work, and he knew that sony would do this stuff to us, that they're doing now.
