    60 Minutes Now! Michael Jackson's lucrative legacy

    60 Minutes Now! Michael Jackson's lucrative legacy

    60 Minutes Lara Logan reports.

    The 297th performance of the Michael Jackson IMMORTAL World Tour. Cirque du Soleil produces the show featuring their acrobats and contortionists, but Michael Jackson -- or at least his music -- is the star.

    Lara Logan: It's just unbelievable. Michael Jackson sells more tickets dead than most artists do alive.

    John Branca is an executor of Michael Jackson's estate -- an architect, if you will -- of how to make money off his legacy, most of which will eventually be turned over to Jackson's three children. Branca was Jackson's lawyer and adviser off and on for over 25 years and negotiated many of the singer's biggest deals during his lifetime.

    Jackson's father and some of his siblings challenged Branca as executor and the validity of Jackson's will. But the California courts upheld the will and Branca's ability to carry out Michael Jackson's wishes.

    John Branca: There was a series of wills and they were substantively almost identical.

    Lara Logan: In that 20 percent went to charity, 40 percent went to his children, and 40 percent went to his mother as long as she was alive, and on her death would go to the children. The basic principle never changed.

    John Branca: Never changed. The whole objective of Michael's estate plan is to take care of his mother during her lifetime and to accumulate the principle and assests for the benefit of Michael's children.

    Beware of Michael Jackson's online thought police

    Beware of Michael Jackson's online thought police

    The Guardian, Friday 25 January 2013

    Deborah Orr

    Jacko's vigilante fans have attempted to preserve their idol's reputation by bombarding a new biography of him with one-star reviews

    Cyberspace is home to a bewildering number of vigilante groups policing all sorts of perceived thought crimes. Among them is a bunch of enthusiastic Michael Jackson fans, who patrol the internet in search of words that sully the perfection of their idol's posthumous reputation. Their latest strike is against a biography by one Randall Sullivan, entitled: Untouchable: The Strange Life and Tragic Death of Michael Jackson, which has received 100 one-star reviews on Amazon. One thing is clear, though: it's not the idea that Jackson was or should remain "untouchable" that they object to. They toil to keep Jackson's image protected from prying eyes or minds, residing undisturbed in Neverland for ever.
