"This is a complicated subject. A contract is a contract, and while 'moral' issues may be present, there are also 'ethical' questions.   

I'm not defending Bulmer, everything I have read about him makes him sound slimey. Still, I think there are other sides to the issue."

Yes indeed, there are other sides to the issue all right. Here's one of them. One of the very finest singers in the English or any other tradition made some sublime albums. The rights to those recordings passed to a bloke who will not allow this wonderful man to make a single penny from them, in spite of the fact that he came upon very hard times and was unable to perform ever again.   Please do not bore me with you weasel moral, ethical or contractual issues.
