August 18, 2010 – Sony on the Defensive
My blog scheduled for today was “Michael Jackson Know about Transitional?”, but in light of the latest goings on with various friends of mine, I had to do an emergency blog insert. I will reschedule “Transitional” tomorrow.
Yesterday I posted a note published by June Gatlin on her facebook page. I was asked my opinion on the note by someone who sent it to me. Since many fans frequent her page, and since there seems to be a battle brewing between “Pro-Sony” and “Con-Sony” fans, I thought I should pull together some implicating things that have happened as a result.
Two people in particular have attacked me in comments on different facebook pages. I’ve been through this before, it’s not new. Their tactics in their arguments are taken directly from the “Rules for Radicals” playbook. If someone is going to spend that much time and effort jumping to different facebook pages to attack my opinion, I am left to assume just as happened with a previous blogger, that someone is getting too close for comfort.
This issue isn’t even June Gatlin, it is Sony. I disagreed with the note because June was questioning the motives of fans who want to boycott Sony or question the Jackson estate executors. I questioned why she felt she had to place a note allegedly written by Michael to prove what she was saying was true. I thought it was odd, so I posted my own note I have from Michael with samples of his handwriting because it did not look authentic. That was for you all to compare. My opinion was already stated.
This is just one of the tactics Sony is using to try to squelch what they have done. I don’t know where June stands and she is entitled to her opinion. I am entitled to disagree with it and I stated why. There should be no attacking anyone over this. But that is what happens when you are close to the truth. If I wasn’t close to the truth, that post wouldn’t have gotten so much attention . . . THANK YOU, Sony! You are helping me get the word out.
For the Love of Michael
Gina and Karmen and Laura:
The three ladies mentioned above have been researching their little hearts out. Karmen, I will cover yours tomorrow on "Transitional".
Laura is being shut down by Sony. They are behind her video getting pulled by Youtube. She posted a comment on the original Facebook posting of the video about Sony here
Under the list of comments she posted this:
"ty guys <3
But i want u to know, that I'm afraid Sony has their eyes on me. First i got a PM via twitter from them after i sent them my video, now i go to my YT channel and i found " someone" has removed my video from my channel, i do not who, i dont know if it was YT or Sony or whoever, BUT IT WAS NOT ME.
So dont go to the link because it wont work. If someone wants the video plz mail me and i'll send it to u. I'm gonna edit the video, i'll change the music and i'll upload again THE WONT SILENT ME, THEY WONT STOP ME!!! Love you All<3"
Sony is also systematically removing Michael Jackson videos of his songs from Youtube. This, my friends, is an attack on the fans. I was wondering how long it would take them to start biting the hands that feed it. Things are going to get more interesting from here on out.
Michael Battles Sony on his Own w/ Invincible
You are either Michael fans, or you are Sony fans. I’m sorry if this offends some of you who read this blog, but this is what it is going to come down to and Sony is COUNTING on the division. They’ve been orchestrating it from the beginning. All the Charles Thomsons and Taraborrelli’s and fake facebook personalities out there inserted to cause conflict . . . The attacking of Karen Faye and Samantha DeGosson, the battles between the Nikki’s and the Taaj’s and the Justice4MJ groups . . . every little emotional hook they can dig into you they will. So let's just take a look at Sony's marketing and P.R. tactics so we know what we are up against.
Yes, you too can become a paid Sony blogger to sample the music and blog about it after you buy it. That’s kind of like signing an artist to their label, giving them a “percentage” of the revenue from what they created, then stealing the music they created and charging them to perform it! Wow, what a racket! (Thank you Gina for these contributions)
Here we go . . . maybe they even use “employment services” such as this: Paid-to-blog!
Just sign up and blog for companies (like Sony) on their products, services or REPUTATION.
Remember the fake blog about the Sony PS3? Another article expressing exasperation over the fraudulent tactics Sony took to promote (lie) about their product. This wasn’t just errant trolls combing the blogosphere . . . this was a WHOLE FAKE BLOG set up by them! Sony trolls
Question the facebook groups and blogs you follow. Some of them have been out there since the beginning. (Gina, I LOVE you! All this is her research and Laura's!)
Sony intimidates a blogger into removing content: and - click on the WA Post article link, which is also here. Fixing game shows for ratings sweeps? Isn’t that kind of like, killing someone just in time for him to miss ownership of the masters of his own recordings? Or like timing unreleased songs album for a dead artist's birthday?
Moving on . . . Sony execs tried to pressure msnbc into killing the Will Smith Scientology story.
SONY BMG UK announces groundbreaking online blogging initiative: - To sucker other artists into possibly blogging about and sharing their music in the hopes that someday THEY TOO can end up fighting for their lives over their own music ownership.
Michael fighting for his life in court, Trial 2005
Sony Buys Out Bertelsmann’s Sony BMG Stake for $1.2 Billion -
"... giving it a chance to experiment with new business models — possibly including having its artists promote Sony products." Another “PS3”fake blogging site.
Sony outed on payola scandal:
- again, it's incentives and gifts more than money. Isn’t this what Tommy Mottola was nailed for? Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree does it? “The payola has got to stop — that's the word from New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, who on Monday announced a settlement with Sony BMG Music Entertainment, which has agreed to cease its "pay for play" policy.”
“We have seen a resurgence in enforcement actions against old-fashioned radio payola, like the state of New York's recent with Sony BMG and the Warner Music Group for secretly paying radio stations to spin records.8 Complaints about the integration of product promotions into entertainment programming now sit before federal regulators.9 And in Hollywood, these marketing practices have become a source of labor unrest as screenwriters are asked to write promotional copy into scripts.”
Business Practices:
Sony Investigated for Anti-Trust Practices
“The major music labels are now under investigation by the US Department of Justice in a probe on suspicions of antitrust violations, according to the UK Register this afternoon. The impending launch of the Sony BMG and Universal backed service TotalMusic is the impetus for the investigation.
There is a long history for followers of major media ownership of apprehensiveness due to the extreme consolidation with the major labels. Sony, Waner, Universal and EMI supply 80% of the market with music.” – This is it folks. Now Sony is looking to buy EMI. They need Michael out of the way and they needed the combined revenue from his control of half of Sony Music and his own Mijack catalog. Branca is HELPING THEM DO IT! See “Transitional Lawsuit” blog tomorrow!
Sony Getting sued in China too
They Sabataged Michael, Now they Sabatage His Children’s Future. Fight! Don’t Give up!
Michael Told Us YEARS AGO What was Going on! Fans Questioning him now are NOT FANS.
Sony Ships Sneaky DRM Software - Music giant uses spyware and virus writers' techniques:
“...turns out that Sony is using techniques normally seen only in spyware and computer viruses in order to restrict the unauthorized copying of some of its music CDs. Sony's software, licensed by Sony from a Banbury, UK, company called First 4 Internet, has become the basis of a dispute that once again pits computer advocates against an entertainment company experimenting with new ways to prevent the unauthorized copying of its products.”
“Don’t Stop (killing) ‘Til You Get Enough”
Music Industry targets children, "Get ‘em while they’re young!":
“Lessons teaching pupils about copyright law are already being piloted in six schools and could be rolled out across the country. Critics suggest the initiative is designed to protect commercial interests rather than provide a valuable educational experience."
"The get ‘em while they’re young child mind-rape scheme is organised by music industry ‘consultant’ Ruth Katz who, by an amazing coincidence, also works for Big 4 music gang member EMI.” - (Can we maybe just . . . teach them that killing for money is wrong too? Or is that not as important?)
Kids and Kartels - click links too and notice profits breakdown at bottom.
“p2pnet view Kids & Kartels:- The Quebec government is spending an unknown amount in taxpayer dollars promoting hard-core corporate music anti-piracy doctrine to Secondary 5 students.”
Sony has no shame. No wonder they went after Michael with such viciousness, since Michael was the biggest advocate for children there was. Let’s corrupt their little minds about the sins of downloading a song off the internet while that same company is out there slandering, libeling and murdering to steal a whole catalog of songs!
Michael Loved . . . They Killed.
Stealing is a sin no matter WHO is doing it! Sony!
I am burning I am so angry! They took out Michael Jackson, who hurt NOBODY! Five other people’s lives were taken! Peter Lopez, Bruce Ayers, Evan Chandler (arguably poetic justice), and Sulema and Jerriell Wilborn of the Mesereau Legal Clinic.
With this all going on under our noses, I’m supposed to be worried about two bloggers playing bullying games on Facebook?
It’s About Michael, Not Profit
We know Sony’s tactics. You are aware and it is documented across the internet. You know they are being investigated. If you are still getting attacked, then you know these people are for Sony and not for Michael. Those people can’t look at the evidence both from Michael himself, the trial and the news today and believe Sony is not involved in this. Gina, Karmen, Seven, Laura and all of you have found and convinced those who are in this for Justice that Michael never wanted to do business with Sony again. Period. Their VERY ACTIONS should answer any doubts you may have.
Tomorrow I want to share with you some very interesting information on the Transitional lawsuit shared by Karmen in her video.
Love you all and thank you so much for hanging in there. This is not going to be easy, but it’s for Michael and his life and his work. Look to God for strength because we can’t do this without him.
