He’s dead, he isn’t getting any royalties from anything anymore and (as far as I know) his estate are not a Clinton style pizza paedo ring.
I guess, like Saville, removing/deleting all associated content is a way of deleting MJ from people's minds. He may not profit from it any more, but I can understand why radio stations etc would no longer wish to celebrate the man through his music. Something they should have done years ago to be fair if they truly believe it's the right thing to do.
Other than being creepy, there isn’t much Savile stuff anybody would want to watch though. I guess repeats of TOTP on BB4 but even then he’s hardly missed.
Jackson, paedo or not, made some great music. And as he is now dead there is nothing in it for him anymore.
I’d cut out the Lostprophets from any future TOTP repeats, but if H from Steps dies in prison then I’d have less of a problem with them showing the performances/videos.
I do know what you mean though. It is hard to separate the artist from the art. But Wagner still gets played and it is pretty uncontroversial to play his music. Maybe it is just a matter of waiting until the crimes are a distant memory?
