Michael Jackson's music has made me and millions of others happy over decades; indeed, over half a century. Whatever else is or isn't true, I know for a fact I will be poorer for not hearing his music.
But apart from my bias, some questions:
How is this new phenomenon of retrospective 'catalogue cleansing' to be administered?
With or without criminal conviction?
Based on what type of crime and determined by whom?
Forever? For how long?
Before or only after the offending occurred?
And what about associated composers and musicians who will suffer from royalty loss? Will they be compensated?
