Lawyers for Michael Jackson's estate and Howard Mann, who was working with Katherine Jackson on several business deals, have settled a copyright infringement lawsuit for $2.5 million dollars, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting.

As previously reported, Michael's estate filed a lawsuit against Howard in 2011 for copyright infringement, claiming all the assets are owned by the estate for the benefit of his children and mother, after Mann established an unauthorized website hawking previously unreleased Michael Jackson songs and photographs.
