Settled as Yes

Agreement was made on August 20th.

Background:

Background: Michael Jackson's final rehearsal for his London concert tour was recorded in high definition video and audio on the eve of his death -- and could be released as the King of Pop's final album, sources said Sunday.

One AEG official boasted to a colleague this weekend, "We have a live album in the can," Waxman writes.

The rehearsal, which went on for several hours, included dancers, musicians and aerial performers. Three people close to the production said it had been captured by multiple cameras, and the audio was digitally recorded in a manner that could be used to produce surround-sound DVD and audio products.

AEG Live may stand to lose millions due to the unexpected cancellation of Jackson's 50-show London concert series, but potential earnings from recordings of the star's final moments could offset the losses - and then some.

Settlement details:Either a DVD or an album of material from this rehearsal night can settle the market. A leak of the footage to the internet will not count. This must be a commercial release. Settlement date is Jan 1 2010.

It will be one of the best selling releases ever. I can't see them not releasing this.

They could do a limited edition (say 1 million) vinyl and probably have fans lining up around the block to pay a hefty deposit. The late Michael could make more this year than the late Elvis, and that takes some doing.
