right, mj owned them -- not the band.  and i'm sure he
bought them from someone else -- not the band (i think
he has had to sell them due to financial collapse --
read that his last album cost, like, $20 million to
make, if you can believe that).  i don't think bands
who record for big labels generally own the rights to
the material they record.

another thought -- the commercials could be a
subversive joke made by someone at an ad agency.
