Launch.com reports Michael Jackson has joined the ever-growing list of artists who have spoken out about the poor treatment they have received at the hands of record labels. Jackson recently enlisted Reverend Al Sharpton and former O.J. Simpson lawyer Johnnie Cochran in an effort to get the singer out of his long-term deal with Sony Music. In a written statement, Jackson argued, “Record companies have to start treating their artists with respect, honor, and financial justice.”
