Lol that Belgian family and the lawyer wanna get money off this!!

It should go to Marvin’s estate and particularly his kids should def get a word.

The music found should definitely belong to Marvin’s family/estate, and let them decide if it should be released.

I’m finding it sus that this family just happened to remember they had all his stuff after it became legally theirs.

Yeah, that seems obvious. I’d hope there is more nuance to that Belgian ownership law because what that family appears to have done seems like a very easy workaround to support stealing. If they knew it existed but Marvin’s family didn’t even know it existed they couldn’t have possibly asked for it: anyone can hold on to someone else’s items for 30 years and boom, it’s theirs.

Yeah…doesn’t sound sketch at all… /s

Marvin has soooo many amazing songs and ngl, I want to hear some of these but only if they’re released by the appropriate people.

Also just coming here to say how much I love the Commodores‘ “Nightshift” as well 🙃

translation from belgian news website VRT:

The family kept and cherished some items, for years on end. Until a few years ago they figured it was time to do something with the material. They visit lawyer Alex Trappeniers, specialized in music industry and copyright laws. He studied the collection intently. A large feat

This seems so sketch tbh

[kashiyaek]

its very weird, the news report came with a video interview with the lawyer and its all framed very positively/feel good, with the journalist writing the article asking zero questions about the legitimacy of any of these claims

As I read the next day, I wonder if someone in the holding family died and the kids just discovered it and want to cash in. The timing sounds about right.
