Well he deserves it, he co-wrote the song with Michael.

Glad they were able to work it out. This was the right thing to do. I still have a problem with Anka calling up TMZ instead of going to the estate directly. That was very unprofessional.

No one seems to get the big picture here....take a step back.

I am so tired of people saying arrest the doctor put him in jail. Wanna know why it hasn't happened? They don't have the case yet! If you like the could do a Sony and arrest him anyway and then watch him walk in 6 months cause they did not get a chance to do there due diligence. Sony got greedy and "rushed" things look what happened...........

Back to Dr. Murray I hope it takes another year to finally arrest him, think about it, other then Osama who is the most hated person on this planet? He can't work he can't pay child support and he is so scared he is probally holed up somewhere asking himself why did I take the job with Michael? Sounds to me like he is living his own personal hell so whats the rush let him rot for a bit.

I don't think it's fair to blame Paul in all this afterall he did co-write the song it's obviously Sony dropped the ball. The only thing that will upset me is if the lawsuit is taken from the estate I think Sony should be solely responsible for the decision to rush this album..........

The kids will get there money in time however just like always it's the lawyers time to eat up what they can.......

WTG Paul take it and run you deserve your credit.

Sadly, for Sony---are you kidding me? This shows how greedy Sony is. They screwed up big time, they should pay for this.
Why does the Jackson estate have to pay, Branca screwed up royally, he knew MJ did this song during Thriller.
Let Sony and Branca pay Anka, leave the Jacksons out of this, they had nothing to do with it.
GREAT JOB SONY-----AGAIN i NEEDED A GOOD LAUGH

I don't know what Paul Anka's financial status is, But if he had something on the back burner waiting for the cash to do it. That may have just changed, and it's front burner time, Paul will smiling all the way to the bank.

If he co wrote it with our beloved Michael then he should receive what is his. I am sure it is the right thing to do.
We miss you Michael!

Who is Paul Anka?

Posted at 5:09 PM on Oct 12, 2009 by Jill

Well, he is ONLY getting 50% for his song. duh..they are both equal writing partners.

Just like Siedah garret get 50% for co-writign Man in the mirror.

he won't be getting half of the movie or half of the soundtrack. His half if coming from his ONLY song on the soundtrack and the end credit of the movie.

Paul Anka is thinking, "Oh thank you God, thank you God, thank you God for letting Sony release THAT one"!!
