Californian Supreme Court rules on free speech claims in Michael Jackson fake vocals dispute
The Californian Supreme Court has ruled against Sony Music and the Michael Jackson estate in regard to a free speech question that was raised after it was alleged that three tracks on the posthumous Michael Jackson album ‘Michael’ did not in fact feature the star’s vocals.The lawsuit that sparked that question has already been settled and the three disputed tracks removed from the streaming services, so the Californian court’s ruling could be seen as irrelevant. But it possibly sets a precedent of relevance to future music marketing.
