After all we've seen and read during the last months about the current situation of MJ and Sony Music, fans from all around the world are gathering together in order to support Michael, leaded by Planet Jackson, MJNI and Angel.

From MJ's HideOut, in the first stage of our campaign to back Michael, hundreds of mails, faxes and letters were sent to newspapers, magazines, radio stations and TV shows. Now we have several references to MJ's problem in many of those media. We must go on with this, but there are still many other things we can do.

In the second stage of this campaign we have to go further. A number of different demonstrations are now being planned worldwide. Some others have already been carried out successfuly in cities such as New York.

It's time for the spanish fans to show Michael how much we love him and appreciate all he has done for us. We all know we cannot solve the problems between Michael and Sony Music, that's out of the question, but we can support him in this time of need and try to let everybody know about Sony's strategy. The demonstration will be, in every aspect, respectful and pacific. This is extremely important if we are to be taken into consideration.

Sure enough, here at Black Fedora International - The official Spanish MJFC we are working for Michael and the fans, too, and of course we are proud of being part of the organization, part of the United MJ Fan Clubs, and we definitely support every effort that is inspired by Michael in order to bring respect back to music industry.

We would also like to apologize for not acting before in this matter; the main reason is the upcoming version of www.blackfedora.net on which we are currently working 'round the clock to offer every fan the information needed. Never will be too late to tell the world about this injustice.

As well, from Black Fedora we feel compelled to please ask you all fans, message boards, fanclubs, etc to never ever forget about the fans that don't have an internet conection. Every single fan should be aware of such an injustice Michael is going through; please remember many of the fans are NOT online. Black Fedora is working hard on this.

United we stand, Michael: What more can we give...
