virginian: Interesting definitions, but still muddy up the identification of ownership, particularly the opening sentence in the second link:

The "owner of master recording" is the person or company who covers the costs of making a sound recording of a musical work and is therefore usually the owner of it.

Clearly RA didn't cover the costs of making the recordings in the first place.

But I'm not sure it really matters - There are CDs available that cover every song MJ or the Jacksons ever recorded, in numberous combinations of regular releases and greatest hits. Don't see much of a market in trying to put out new ones from the masters, even if someone could.

The question of value lies in the 14 unreleased songs.

If there is any value, it will take a very long time for any of us to find out. But I'm sure that RA will remind the world that he has these tapes often...
