Michael Jackson (on Beatbox)

Sony’s Michael Jackson library hit by hackers with great taste:

Sony paid $250 million for the rights to Michael Jackson's epic library, but the hackers who downloaded more than 50,000 files from their archive got the King of Pop's tracks for the cost of a PlayStation. Not only are the hackers currently doing victory moon walks to the highest-quality hits that Jackson sung, they will also be among the first people to hear unreleased recordings from studio sessions of "Thriller" and "Bad." Another gem from the digital haul : a previously unreleased with late Queen front man Freddie Mercury and The Black Eyed Peas' Will.i.am. Sources think the hackers exploited a weakness in Sony's PlayStation Network in April 2011, but the leak wasn't announced until recently. For their part, Sony says they have "plugged the gap" lest the hackers return for the Journey archives
