"Altomare said he wasn't disappointed at the sales pace, even though his company bought the items for $5 million and spent more than $2 million transporting them.
??? Because this gave him a perfect opportunity to throw out more shares at a higher price ?
The company's collection includes other Jackson items, such as master tapes of hundreds of songs, some never released, that will be sold later, he said."
I think he cannot sell such songs without permission by the person(s) having the copyrights for the songs or lyrics. The copyright is not connected to the actual possession and has to be negotiated separetely. imo.
Hope RA comments on this the next CC.
