i don't really understand the purpose of throwing my name in there. i'm very aware of that but it doesn't change how i feel about that guy (ian) who wrote the book. that was the whole point of me calling him a sick opportunist. when money is involved, people will do whatever to get it. michael is making a shitload of money in death on his own but anyone who's an opportunist will be doing the same thing.
you didn't have to tell me any of this you just wrote because i've been youtubing michael for at least 3 hours a day for the past month almost. lol! and the people who are stealing/downloading these things are making it possible for me to do so. ive been watching old videos and googling and looking up stuff people have uploaded to the internet. i've seen things ppl are trying to sell and i won't front for a moment like i haven't wanted a keychain or the coffee mug i keep seeing. ha!
while i think selling off memorabilia and old music and interviews he's done is totally different than writing a book about how he liked to fuck male prostitutes i'm not surprised ANY of this has happened and not worried about changing it.
i just think it's messed up. shit, he could be telling the truth but i highly doubt it which is why i think it's just sick. but who cares what i think. this man is making money and sitting nice while i have to balance my checkbook to see how much shit i can buy at wal-mart. lol!

People are downloading that Living with Michael Jackson documentary like crazy so go figure. There's the home videos and various concert tours throughout his career and his whole discography. I just saw Dangerous and Bad and a slew of others. Books are in the pdf form to be opened up and read on computers. Yes, I know downloading from sites like that is copyright infringement so I'm giving the warning. I was curious so I looked and I'm pretty computer savvy for a girl. A lot of those files have to be scanned upon download to avoid viruses overtaking your computer and a potential crash. I know Specktra doesn't endorse nor support that site because it's still theft of an original artists' work. I am noticing that it hits isohunt and then bang miraculously appears on youtube so people are pirating alot of his works and videos. The Fox special is uploaded on their already from god knows who and has 1400 some seeds and downloads. MissBrittB87, I know that by the day, these files are getting added and some of it isn't all in a positive light. The fans and the vultures alike are swapping and downloading files like crazy but some are probably downloading to sell. The burned documentaries and concerts are selling for $5 a piece here in Baltimore but I don't know about other cities. Shoot, copy of Bruno is $5 so I know we're quick with stuff. Literally, there's either vendors or bootleggers downloading those, putting them on disc and selling them around the Inner Harbor and downtown....freaking crazy. First it was fake MAC all downtown and now it's Michael Jackson knock off discs everywhere. I don't think any portion of his career can't be bought as of this point. You're a die hard fan but most people are looking at the commercial value of his death and you and Lauren can't change that. The Billboard charts since his death should say that alone but the illegal side is making just as much money. His stories sell, as well as music and videos, even pictures so there's not much that is going to change. Go to Ebay and type in Michael Jackson memorial tickets and they even have fake tickets and bracelets available for sale. Why a fan would sell them I don't know but he's already for sale on Ebay in mass amount just like anywhere else. I'd just chalk it up to it's gonna happen and there's not a thing people can do about it...most you can do is get angry but it's still going to be there. |
