Thread Name: Obit: Whitney Houston dead at 48 (1963-2012)
Subject: RE: Obit: Whitney Houston dead at 48
I see Sony have been trounced by the internet again . . .

Whitney Houston's last two albums were hiked in price by about £3.00 ($5.00 US), within hours of her death being announced.

Funnily enough, it was 'an administrative error' . . . hmmm, without Twitter, I suspect they'd have stuck with it.

No wonder these music companies get ripped off by 'ordinary folks' when they're that cynical.

Commercial fact: Her dying isn't such a bad thing for such as them . . . sales will rocket:
e.g.
Jim Reeves
Buddy Holly
Elvis Presley
Michael Jackson et al
