The sad truth about the “business” around “Dead celebrities” It is written in HISTORY how artists ARE exploited in death and are worth more dead than alive… that is because artists are USED and ABUSED in life and dispensable , because they are a GOLD mine for the lawyers , “business men” and the industry , that when the artist is gone, keep living at the expense of the dead artists !! The Artist is a problem until he/she/they stay alive… “Many dead celebrities make the bulk of their posthumous fortunes on licensing deals. Unlike their living counterparts, who can suddenly fall into a heap of trouble (see Lindsay Lohan, Mel Gibson), dead celebrities have images–be they glamorous, rebellious or tough–that are unlikely to change. For that instant and considerably safer brand association, marketers are increasingly attaching themselves to the dead, says Mark Roesler, chief executive of CMG Worldwide.” Another star, gone too soon, ripped off by the system …Whitney Houston If for Whitney Houston “the main beneficiary of her postmortem success is the record company that already paid her so many millions of dollars, so many years ago” , for MJ, the beneficiaries of MJ’s success is the whole system, made of lawyers, business men, record company , credit institutes that , while he was alive, pulled MJ into their spider web , sucking him dry , in life , as in death… The Ray Charles estate…..another example of Corporation’s owned Estate like MJ Estate ? “Unlike many other celebrity musicians who passed away, Michael Jackson estate is controlled not by his family, but by “professionals”. The Ray Charles estate is another example. Both have featured court fights between the family and those in charge. With those estates, the executors — not the family members — have the right to agree to a holographic performance, whether the family members like it or not.” “Who do you want to control your legacy after you pass? Do you want that person to treat your heirs honorably, as you would have liked? Do you want your business to be managed in a way that would make you proud? These are legitimate concerns that many people don’t stop and think about when doing their estate planning. Creating a will or trust is more than simply deciding who gets what. Choosing the right person to manage your estate, trust or business after you die is critical, both for your loved ones and often for your own reputation. Putting the right person in charge can make all the difference between tainting your legacy, and having your wishes and goals followed the way you want.”
