    If they let kids dance and create music together somehow ("collaborative in-game activities"), then I can see this becoming a success, if they pull it off well. However, the fact that they didn't give any details regarding the gameplay tells me that this unlikely to be the case.

    I'm not sure what you think Michael Jackson owned, but read and understand this: http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/jackson.asp

    He owned particular _rights_ to the music, but was not "in control" of the Beatles music.

    While not a MMO, there already was a Michael Jackson game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson's_Moonwalker
