Sony Raises Price of Whitney Houston's Music 30 Minutes After Death

Posted by samzenpus on from the it's-not-right-but-it's-okay dept.

First time accepted submitter M.Nunez writes "Just 30 minutes after Whitney Houston died, Sony Music raised the price of Houston's greatest hits album, 'Ultimate Collection,' on iTunes and Amazon. Many technologists, including chairman of the NY Tech Meetup Andrew Rasiej, suggests that Sony should be boycotted for the move. In a tweet, Rasiej wrote, 'Geez Sony raised price on Whitney Houston's music 30 min after death was announced. #FAIL...We should boycott Sony.'"

    This article is assuming we shouldn't have been boycotting Sony already.
    Silly people... why do they need so much time to learn?

    I'd been boycotting Whitney Houston for all her music which I didn't like. So this plays straight into my hands!
