I didn't say that, it's still terrible. I just don't like condemn a single company when everybody else does the same.

I don't know whether you're disputing how demand works, or simply nitpicking semantics.

You find the price based on how many people are going to buy something versus how much it costs you to distribute. With a cost as negligible as digital distribution, demand is still in effect.

Probably Sony killed her, crack is wack!

Really a shame that some of you are using this as an opportunity to take shots at someone that just died. You're demonstrating one of the worse aspects of the internet.

OT: While not cool, it doesn't surprise me that a business would take advantage of this opportunity. Sad little world we live in ...

i suppose the right move would be refusing to sell her Albums from now on ?

next stop: George Michael

Yea I know. Also a total disgrace. Labels and people will always try and justify it but it's pretty ridiculous. You can't help but wonder how the artist themself would feel about it. Especially since in many cases they are songs that the artist had recorded but decided not to put on an album etc. 

Either way I think raising the price of an album is a relatively minor thing compared to what has been done before. 

who cares? Sony has every right to charge whatever they want. Don't like it? Don't but it. Simple.

And if you really were a Houston fan, wouldn't you OWN this crap already.

Nonsense.

the problem is not companies... its the people... why we only get conscious about someone after their death? if we didn't do this companies wouldn't have more demand for their album, wouldn't have any reason to get the price up... we do this, they take advantage, not of the person who died, but of the suckers that only remember to buy their albums now that they are dead...

guess they had to make money somewhere
