    Thank you, Grace, for posting this information. I don't know what to make of this. So, Michael Jackson Company, LLC already had domains reserved already - that is understandable. Even the Michael Joseph is understandable because most people think Michael's middle name is Joseph. And, it seems smart business for the Estate to reserve these additional domains. I can't help but wonder though about all of those domains. I guess I'll have to start visiting each one to see what kind of information they have and if they are all the same info.

    Your thoughts are appreciated. Blessings.

    Thank you Grace...these are very interesting....so many!
    I suppose in this day and age, it's just good business to protect these......
    thanks again!
    Blessings Always

    Why does Michael need so many websites? He must have been planning something really big that will blow the damn internet away <!-- smichael-jackson/ -->michael-jackson/<!-- smichael-jackson/ -->
  • heartphantomheartphantom Posts: 722
    That's what large companies do , register multiple domains and extensions. They don't have to build a site on all the domains, but they can reserve to keep people from registering them and confuse.
  • GraceGrace Posts: 2,864
    The interesting part in this is the number of domains only for the fan fest.
    You do that only if the event is REALLY important to you and you don't want any third party to interfere with your plans.

    But: any domain using Michael's name can be taken down in a second due to brand property rights.
    There is NO need at all to register all those domains for the fan fest.

    So: are they not knowing in the Estate what they are doing or is this more of a signal to emphasize on the growing importance of fans?

    I'm just pleased that it looks like they have got lots of exciting things planned. "I promise you, the best is yet to come!"
    I'm thankful for members here, like you Grace, who know how to dig up these kinds of details.

    Gregory J. Chamberlain

    I am a music & media entrepreneur immersed in multiple interrelated projects in the areas of television, song publishing and the Internet.

    I have devoted much time as a peace and political activist. I was an official blog administrator and moderator for the Ron Paul 2008 presidential campaign. Over volunteerism, on the political side, has taxed my personal and business life to a certain extent. As of April 2011, I have decided to take a break from political activism for a while and focus on business projects which revolve around the world of music.

    At present, I am developing MUSIC TELEVISION COMPANY, which is focused on aggregation, packaging and distributing music television programming for Domestic & International TV, Satellite and Cable outlets. The ultimate goal is to build a popular 24 hour global network of channels, where music is the only reality.

    I am also behind the development of a song publishing unit, Groove Songs, which is on the constant hunt to invest in song copyrights and to sign young artists, bands and songwriters with "it" to song publishing or co-publishing agreements. Groove Songs has plans to also make strategic investments in established song catalogs.

    A website I started in 1999, known as MusicLoad, is an important project of mine that I am also involved in developing with partners. MusicLoad is a contributing force behind MUSIC TELEVISION COMPANY. A one hour music show ,"MusicLoad Presents", is in development. At present, MusicLoad at MusicLoad.Com gives away free handpicked mp3 downloads of outstanding emerging artists, authorized by the artists & bands presented. The site and blog.musicload.com page also generates sales of mp3 downloads though MusicLoad's Amazon.Com channel. All options in regards offering a MusicLoad subscription music service on MusicLoad.Com are being considered. Presently making plans to begin retailing a wider variety of music than before, not only as mp3 downloads or a possible subscription service, but including hard goods from vinyl records to CD's, DVD's, music themed clothing, posters and related merchandise. A bricks & mortar location is being considered.

    I am digging non-stop for great music from all over the world and welcome leads on great songs, artists and bands. Please hit the contact link in the column to the right to send me a note. Look forward to hearing from you <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->

    Yes, but why disputing domain names lawsuits when you can prevent for a small insignifican amount of money, then i don't know if let's say fanfest is a property right. However, of course, an interesting finding, anything might be useful.
