How Many Unreleased Michael Jackson Songs Did Hackers Steal?
Hackers may have stolen as much as $250 million worth of unreleased Michael Jackson music, a person familiar with the case said on Monday (March 5, 2012). Sony inked a 7-year-deal with the singer's estate following his death to release several albums of unreleased music, and the majority of this may have been stolen by hackers last year, reports CBS News.

Sony Music Entertainment spokeswoman Liz Young said the company noticed its system had been breached in May 2011, and immediately took steps to secure the site and notify authorities. As a result, the two suspects were arrested". Two men from the UK were charged in September with computer misuse and copyright offenses and appeared in court again last week. It was there that they denied the charges against them and told they would go on trial in January 2013. The label would not reveal how much music had been stolen, but a source said both suspects were Jackson fans and had access to his entire back catalogue, which would presumably include all the unreleased material being readied for release. James Marks, 26, and James MCCormick 25, appeared at Leicester Crown Court on Friday (March 9, 2012) and were freed on bail shortly afterwards.

The allegations come just a week after Jackson's daughter Paris allegedly questioned the legitimacy of her father's posthumous album 'Michael', claiming the vocals were actually provided by an obscure song-songwriter with a similar sounding voice.

IF you go listen to LMP's interview on utube. (why the marriage ended) its the truth, he really did stress her out, its not because she wanted fame and fortune, she had all her dads estate and then some. If that is what she wanted, she would of stayed in the limelight. Anyway she also has her own career. She ended up in the hosiptal because of him and he didnt even care or do anything to help her as I know this of him and she is not the only one.She says he cheated on her and ran to other woman to have children with. I know she is telling the truth as she is not the only one he stressed out and made sick.When he came back from raising his children, he started dating girls 17-23 years old and pimped them out. This became his main concern. He would do anything for them and leave someone he cared for out in the cold literally.As for children, he broke a little girls heart and made a mockery out of a family I know. He did everything in his power to make sure they were hurt and stressed. He is not what you all think of him (those who like him anyway) the way he was portrayed was just an image for him to uphold for his fans (mostly young girls anyway) those are his favourite. He is a LOSER

He was nothing but a liar, cheater and pimped out young teens which became his highest of concerns, sometimes I think even more important than his own children. For someone that enjoyed (or so he says to his fans) having deep to general conversations, in reality his only conversations were with young girls more than half his age. He even bought them phones and bugged them as he could tell them what to say. He controlled them and they of course being young and obsessed, even left their own friends (their own ages) to do what he said, as in return he paid them for sex, trips and whatever they wanted just to do one fun thing.He is a loser and a manipulator

GOOD FOR HIM

The way he treated one person is inexcusable. He had no concern for something that took place right before his death. She didnt do a thing to deserve the unfair treatment from him.She kept crying and asking for help and he never listened, as soon as she asked for something he would run out that very second and pick up and pimp out a girl 5 yrs older than his own daughter. These girls should be with guys their own age, however its MJ , they are obsessed and want his gifts than go on their merry way. Him on the other hand he got to sleep with young girls as he did young boys. How ironic is that.I know things about him and trust me what he did is sick and not to mention hurtful and to say the least uncalled for. His files stolen,,,,,,,if true at all , good for him, I mean with all the means to have helped her and a little girl and family which he followed and tapped into, he made a mockery out of them instead. God will get him back, oops he already did
