I bought a copy of Johnny Collins's excellent CD of sea shanties many years ago, which cost me less than £5; excellent value, I thought. I looked on Amazon UK recently and found it was selling at £37, £161, £182, £528 and a staggering £676; one fair minded retailer, a USA import I think, is offering it at a mere £7.No contest really.
As most of these are private sales I imagine that Johnny Collins's estate will not receive a penny from these greedy, although, quite legal, prices. What can stop me copying this CD and selling the copies for the cost of postage and a few quid for the Collins's estate?
