For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I dont know whether Michael Jackson is innocent or guilty of what he is accused of but I think the point about people boycotting his music if he is found guilty is something people are going to have different opinions about. Personally, i would feel the way about him, the same way as I feel when I hear a Gary Glitter song (one of his songs was used in the film "The Full Monty"!!) and think these people are just sick and shouldnt get "air time" for their music. Presumably when their songs are played on the radio or albums sold in shops, a percentage of profits will go to them and I just think if Michael Jackson is found guilty then he shouldnt be receiving royalty payments from his music because he will be a convicted criminal. Perhaps any monies due to him through the sale/playing of his music should be put in trust for children. Even if he is found innocent, i dont think people will ever see him as the superstar he once was.
If you believe the biographers, Mozart was a complete and utter t*sspot / w@nker. It doesn't stop his stuff being played!
pamnez, no I wouldn't be happy for this person to be about if it was my child, but I do not feel that MJ should have his whole work discredited just bcause of what he might, or might not have, done.
I wouldn't be so fame obsessed as to leave (neglect) my child, vunerable to the desires of a sexpest. He isn't some child-snatching, hang-around-in-parks pervert. But it doesn't matter to me anyway, you cannot just invalidate someones work because you do not approve of their private life.
This is just work, which I for one appreciate, and if it was removed then I feel I would be less happier for it (actually I probably wouldn't notice, more on principle) and as the.dr. says, it will deprive someone of the chance to gt to enjoy what is good, fun music.
What if someone at BT or whatever input your data onto their system and they were a pervert, should your name be removed and your service removed? If he was a doctor that saved my child I wouldn't want BUPA or the NHS to take back the work that he did.
