If you remove This Is It from the drive,, Does that void the warranty

Does it play the movie whenever you connect the drive and doesn't stop until you moonwalked three times around Neverland? Just another marketing idiot wanting to milk money out of a dead guy. Next up: Samsung: Kurt Cobain edition, also with the addition THIS IS IT.

well looks like found my mothers day gift .......Seeing has how she has my old hardware upstairs.USB 2.0 or 3.0 i don`t see it in the post above. Easy: I think what he means is that he is dead let him at least rest in peace,He was a great performer and why every one hates him is beyond me,He was acquitted 3 times for the same charges,It was also proven that the kids parent put them up to it just to get a quick buck.Maybe California should have a double jeopardy law.

By insensitive I mean that everybody still makes jokes about him based on his behavior with kiddos. A) You should not speak bad of a dead person and B) Pedo-jokes are "tabu". This is why I'm happy to read so much black humor here. But H82Luwhatever is also right, he's dead, leave him alone.
