Superb blog!!! You Hungarian fans are the best!
What happened to all the other publishing companies that you listed here earlier? http://lesliemjhu.blogspot.com/2009/06/michael-jacksons-business-issues.html
Whatever happened to MJ Licensing LLC, MJ Sony Music Trust and especially Mijac???
I just realised that it's a bit misleading to list all the publishing companies, because some of them doesn't have any role in MJ's businesses. Most of them has been set up years ago for transactions, indebtness, etc. The ones I mentioned in this post are still important pieces.
The publishing companies with Sony are still active.
Of course MiJac is still active, I might forget about it.
MJ Licensing Llc is a complete mistery for me. It seems that the company still operates in some parts of the EU and Asia based on their agreement with MJ in 2003. MJ's Estate might receive the majority of the incomes, but it's still shaky for me.
Do you know what happened to that company
Name: Jackson International LLC
Profile: Management and investment
Established: 12-21-1998
Status: Active
Jackson International is somehow still active in California. MJ used this company for some investments in the late 90's. I guess the Estate knows about it, so the reason for leaving it actinve might be a role in MJ's businesses.
