There's a good Статья about this, here's a excerpt from it:
"The reason why INVINCIBLE is no longer being promoted by Sony Музыка is because the record company is fighting with Michael Jackson over a financial matter. A few years ago, as an advance on payments on the forthcoming sales of INVINCIBLE, Michael Jackson negotiated a loan from Sony Music, a common transaction between artists and record companies. In order to validate the loan, Michael Jackson had to put his ownership in the ATV Музыка Publishing catalog (including the 251-song Beatles’ catalog) as collateral. The ATV Музыка catalog was bought by Michael Jackson in 1985. In 1995, it was merged with Sony Music’s Sony Музыка Publishing catalog to become ATV/Sony Музыка Publishing. When merging his ATV catalog with Sony’s, Michael Jackson pocketed a sum estimated to be 95 million dollars. Today, Sony Музыка is pressuring Michael Jackson to refund the loan he took from them. And they have the means to do so. The problem is that Sony Музыка are simultaneously preventing Michael Jackson from repaying the money he owes them by sabotaging the promotion of the INVINCIBLE album, Jackson’s main Источник of income to refund the loan."
