There's a good 文章 about this, here's a excerpt from it:
"The reason why INVINCIBLE is no longer being promoted 由 Sony 音乐 is because the record company is fighting with Michael Jackson over a financial matter. A few years ago, as an advance on payments on the forthcoming sales of INVINCIBLE, Michael Jackson negotiated a loan from Sony Music, a common transaction between artists and record companies. In order to validate the loan, Michael Jackson had to put his ownership in the ATV 音乐 Publishing catalog (including the 251-song Beatles’ catalog) as collateral. The ATV 音乐 catalog was bought 由 Michael Jackson in 1985. In 1995, it was merged with Sony Music’s Sony 音乐 Publishing catalog to become ATV/Sony 音乐 Publishing. When merging his ATV catalog with Sony’s, Michael Jackson pocketed a sum estimated to be 95 million dollars. Today, Sony 音乐 is pressuring Michael Jackson to refund the loan he took from them. And they have the means to do so. The problem is that Sony 音乐 are simultaneously preventing Michael Jackson from repaying the money he owes them 由 sabotaging the promotion of the INVINCIBLE album, Jackson’s main 来源 of income to refund the loan."
