Michael Jackson retail ripoff

Broadcast Date: July 9, 1984

His image is everywhere — T-shirts, sweatshirts, buttons, posters and more. Michael Jackson's popularity in Canada is at an all time high. So too is the brisk trade in bootleg MJ merchandise — by some accounts, more than a million dollars a week in unlicensed retail goods. As we see in this 1984 clip from CBC-TV's The National, the King of Pop is sending in foot soldiers to retake his retail empire. - CBC News 1984

Ppl been ripping off M.J. ever since he was born, even 2 this day in death, they r still ripping him off. $ will always be the root of all evil, that's probably why he gave most of it away, cause crooks was going 2 steal it from him anyway, greed is power! BASTARDS!!
