Michael Jackson’s estate just got $750 million richer, as Sony Corp. just bought out the late singer’s share Sony/ATVMusic Publishing. Sony Corp. will now take over MJ‘s 50% stake in the joint venture that was launched in 1995, now owning copyrights for some of the biggest songs ever made – like “New York, New York,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “I Heard it Through the Grapevine,” “All You Need Is Love” and “The Mission Impossible Theme.” The estate will keep all songs written by MJ, as well as some of the songs he purchased from other artists during his lifetime. This has some hardcore fans very upset, as this venture was a big deal for Michael when it came to fruition in 1995. His estate hears the rumbles, and have issued a lengthy statement explaining their stance:
