MJ的遗产公司控告Howard Mann他是MJ母亲现在的生意合作者 遗产公司宣称J妈同意制作 的这些纪念品和其他商业活动是对於MJ智慧财产权的侵犯 The suit, filed in federal court in Los Angeles on Thursday, accuses Mann of "arrogant disregard" for the estate's rights and asks a judge to stop his company, Vintage Pop Media, from further use of Jackson's name, image and music. 上周四在加州法院控告Mann侵害了遗产公司的权利 请求法官终止这个公司不要在使用MJ 的名字 照片影像和音乐 "Protecting and preserving Michael's assets are a core responsibility of the estate and we will do everything the law permits to enforce those rights," estate lawyer Howard Weitzman said in a statement. "People who trade off Michael's personality, copyrights, and trademarks should not be allowed to exploit the legacy of one of the world's most recognized talents for their own benefit." 遗产公司律师Howard Weitzman发表声明 保护MJ的资产是遗产公司的核心责任 我们会采 取一切适当的法律途径来维护 利用MJ的个人物品 版权 和商标牟利的人都是不被允许的 我们不允许人利用这个全世界公认最有才华的人的遗产来图利自己 The suit states that Mann's website, jacksonsecretvault.com, "does absolutely everything in its power to suggest to its visitors that it is the hub for all things Michael Jackson, and that it is sanctioned and supported by the estate, when in fact it is neither." 这个控告声明Mann的网站jacksonsecretvault.com用了一切来告诉参访者这是一个以MJ为 中心的网站而且是受到遗产公司支持 但事实上并没有 The suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, as well as the defendants' profits. 这个控告要求获得赔偿 The filing of the lawsuit finally moves this dispute - which has long simmered in the press - into the courthouse. The estate has already cracked down on a number of unlicensed vendors, but not Mann; presumably because of his business relationship with Jackson's mother, Katherine. 遗产公司已经让很多没有获得认可的销售商关闭 除了Mann的这个网站 很可能这是因为 他和凯瑟琳的合作关系 The matriarch, 80, is not mentioned in the estate's lawsuit however, she told The Times last month that she was working with Mann because she needed more money than was provided by her monthly allowance from the estate. A sum of approximately $7,000. Mann said then that he had paid her "hundreds of thousands of dollars." 凯瑟琳并没有成为被控告的对象 但是上个月他告诉Times她和Mann的合作是因为她需要比 遗产公司每个月能提供的每个月7000块美金津贴更多的钱 Mann说他给了凯瑟琳好几千元 Mann insists that a legal loophole stemming from 2004 litigation brought by Jackson prohibits the estate from suing him and said in a statement that he welcomes the court battle. Mann声称 从2004年以来的法律漏洞可以让遗产公司无法控告他 他很欢迎接下来的法院 大战 Source: MJFC / latimes.com / reuters.com 告来告去没完没了~~ 遗产公司终於出来告这个网站了... -- 在一个充满仇恨的世界 我们仍须勇於希望 在一个充满愤怒的世界 我们仍须勇於安慰 在一个充满绝望的世界 我们仍须勇於梦想 在一个充满猜忌的世界 我们仍须勇於相信 ---------------by 麦克杰克森 --
