Sony tries to cash in on Whitney Houston’s death via iTunes

The Guardian:

Sony Music has come under fire after it increased the price of a Whitney Houston album on Apple’s iTunes Store hours after the singer was found dead.The music giant is understood to have lifted the wholesale price of Houston’s greatest hits album, The Ultimate Collection, at about 4am California time on Sunday. This meant that the iTunes retail price of the album automatically increased from £4.99 to £7.99.

A pretty lame, grotesque attempt to cash in on the late singer’s death.
