(*shudder at the thought*) 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? -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
