Well, now, what's interesting about this here is that it said in our paper
that he bought the rights for $40M, and "Jackson is reputed to have earned
around $40M on his _Thriller_ album".

So, it sounds like an investment to me; I think those songs are still
earning a lot of royalties... I guess he wanted to do something with his
$40M; maybe it helps with taxes?
