Zombie-economy doing the thriller dance behind Micheal Jackson

Here's an interesting article looking at how Michael Jackson (or the money he made from royalties) shows us what is wrong with the economy.

basically, they say the problem his that MJ didn't really get his far share and a lot of his money went to Sony (his record label)and these people don't actually create anything new any more, they just keep getting money of the old.

or in short it's another reason why you should own and control your work, because that's the only way you can be sure you are making the most money form it.
