Official statement by MJ Beats:
Dear members, almost 15 years ago, MJ Beats started it activities on the web with one mission: to celebrate Michael Jackson's legacy. We've been doing it when he was between us and, lucky us, we received an answer in 2005 from Michael himself for our "Celebration Party", on July 16th, 2005. On those had days, he could choose not to send , but he did because he loved his fans.
Over the years, our team made what was possible to bring a good content for everyone. Many press vehicles came to us to disseminate Michael's words and, with such honor, we did from our hearts - and we would do many times it could be needed.
In this last weekend, our Fan Page was blocked by Facebook under a request from Universal Music. Instead of point us what was wrong and what was the "copyright" issue to clear our minds, no... they simply asked the Social Media to block (or delete) it arbitrarily. Our team's work from years simply disappeared. We were interrupted on the first time when we were ranging 45K people and now, 245K people, reaching almost 24 million people everywhere with no advertisement or promotions.
We'll not complain about it, nor even propagate some kind of 'hate' - this is for weak-mindeds. We said it many times, our goal is to give access to a high level content to celebrate Michael Jackson's life and legacy. Due the fact Facebook had deleted our fanbase, we'll take a time to breathe and cathalog every single content we've posted these years into a external database. We cannot allow our fan community to be a victm of this platform. Our content has to be avaiable somewhere else but here.
Once that is said, we'd like to announce that soon, our database with images and videos (and curisou facts) will be avaiable outside this social media platform. We've reborn many times in the past and we'll do it again: we've migrated from Yahoo! (2000) to Lycos (2002), then phpBB (2003) to vBulletin (2005) and Facebook twice (2010 and 2014). We'll bring innovation because this is how we share our L.O.V.E. for the King of Pop!
See you around! ;-)
