Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.HBO's blockbuster Michael Jackson documentary"Leaving Neverland," in which two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, accuse the late singer of abusing them sexually when they were boys, has caused much speculation about what the allegations will mean for Jackson's legacy — and the earning power of his estate.
The estate claims HBO violated a non-disparagement agreement it struck with the singer in 1992."'Leaving Neverland' isn't a documentary, it is the kind of tabloid character assassination Michael Jackson endured in life, and now in death," the estate said in a January statement. Wade Robson, director Dan Reed and James Safechuck pose for a portrait to promote the film "Leaving Neverland" during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
No further details were announced at the time, although the deal was likely struck in advance of a U.S. copyright law amendment enacted in 1978 in which a creator can elect to terminate a deal 35 years after a work's"publication" — in this case, the release of a recording — and the copyright can go to the creator.
