Micheal Jackson Copyright dispute

Micheal Jackson died June 25 of 2009, but shortly after there came disputes about copyright. Micheal Jacksons mother, Katherine Jackson's business partner and and Micheals estate. The estate sued because of "wholesale misappropriation" because of "arrogant disregards". The book sold 25000 copies which was 1.5 million in the first two days. The lawyer of  Howard mann the man who published Never can say goodbye The Katherine Jackson story argues "actual sales are very minimal and the defendant's businesses have suffered a major net loss.". The said copyright was an image from Micheal Jacksons "This is it" tour and the smooth Criminal lean that Micheal does. Katherine Jackson mediate the agreement of giving 2.5 million dollars to the estate from the several companies involved. I believe this is a fair deal because they did copyright the images and do deserve to get sued for doing so and the agreement for 2.5 million is a fair amount for the copyright that happened.
