For that matter what business is it of ours what the other workers involved were paid to likewise participate in the production and sale of the underwear. You aren't working at a textile mill and I'm convinced you didn't own a portion of Haynes. As long as no forced labor was involved and the workers (including MJ) were free from undue coercion or violence then we have no business whatsoever objecting to the contracts they decided were more than fair. Furthermore if you bought the Haynes underwear you likely did so freely.
In all likelihood MJ's endorsement increased sales and the price charged for the underwear. It was this prospect which may have brought about the decision to employ these workers. Apparently if they willingly agreed to work for Haynes they are pleased to have the opportunity.
it's not my business but you said freedom was a value.
If I hire a thousand mercenaries to control a thousand square miles of land, forcing every civilian there to starve or be a slave in my sweatshop, that is not "freedom"
