Of course they did. You have to. These things dont get made for free.

I was always dubious about the financial claims against the Jackson Estate, but I felt a really good point was made in Oprah's post-documentary autopsy:

Thats just how the system works.

You cant get anywhere without money being involved. You cant sue the Jackson Estate for 'The Truth.'

No lawyer would take it on, no Judge would hear it and no news outlet would report on it.

Without money involved there is nothing.

I felt the same way. I thought that suing for money absolutely destroyed his credibility, but looking at it within the context of the system it operates within it makes total sense.
