When ABC aired "The Last Days of Michael Jackson," included were excepts of his music. His estate is suing.

The estate alleges their 'intellectual property' was improperly used in the program.

The lawsuit says the documentary had no news value, but ABC executives believe it was a piece of journalism. The lawsuit also indicates warning letters had been sent before the program aired.
