The auction house said it had been forced to remove a brief clip of the video from its website before the online auction after Jackson’s record label made a “copyright claim”.
The fact that a successful buyer may not be able to use the film for commercial purposes may have dampened demand given the hefty asking price, but the spokesman played down the copyright dispute.
“I don’t think that was a problem at all,” he said, adding that any serious potential buyer would be fully aware of the issue. —IOL.
