Capitalizing on Whitney Houston's death

[RaiderGirl]

This is not only pathetic and repulsive, it gives our industry a black eye;

They either have no morals or their just plain stupid.

Yep, see that every time someone dies, Bin Laden not so long ago, MJ, Winehouse ... Trying to make money off someone passing away is not my cup of tea either.

Just looking at those outrageous prices I think that anyone who would pay that much would have to be out of their mind.

This can lead to often heated debates, personally I'm against the capitalisation of such names but some see it as a legitimate tactic to raise their bottom line. What I don't like about it most is folks are giving the industry a darker shade, reduces trust and all for something that I've never heard of making any big money for anyone. May as well buy a lottery ticket, got more chance of making big bucks in my opinion.

However people are people and the desperate or the borderline obsessional ambitionists will continue to throw a tuppence into investing nothing for big outlandish gains.

But where is the upside ? I don't think anybody is buying those time-limited, bad taste registrations. Regardless of ethics they are basically worthless.
