Of the list, the only three with a truly demonstrable and sustainable earning power in the United States, and not just a day, a week, a month, a year, a lustrum, or a decade, but at least three decades AFTER passing away, are those who are historical figures as well, namely Albert Einstein (6 full decades), Elvis Presley (4 full decades) and John Lennon (3 and 3/4 decades). And, of the three, the only one who was BOTH born and passed away in the United States is Elvis Presley.

A good example of why copyright terms are far too long. Jackson doesn't get any of the $75 million, as he is dead. The people who get the money are those who didn't create anything: they are no better than pimps.
