It's just the verbiage... In no way would this have stopped the labels from flooding the market with her albums well before the corpse got cold, much less into the ground.
Beat up the ad execs for their misguided mouthy campaign then bash all the labels for their ghoulish behavior long before Elvis ever hit the grave.

I'd have to agree with that. If there is an afterlife, I am sure she would be happy to see people listening to her music, no matter what their reason for buying it. If it were not for the fact that she is dead, she would have been using her own death as a sales tool.
I don't want to get into bashing AW loads loved her music etc but seriously, what was really so "ground-breaking" about AW's music & Back to Black?
In my opinion it was an obvious typically cynical music business retread of 1950s music.

If it wasn't for all the drugs and crap she was taken she would have been a dead star many a moon ago.
I can't comprehend the goal or point of this statement... So all the drugs kept her living longer? And I don't know about hardly known; I've never knowingly listened to a single song, but I knew the name and so do many others.
I don't think it was a big deal. Maybe some people found it a welcome and easy way to get her music. As far as cashing in hopefully her heirs will be recieving some of that money...I doubt that would bother her in the least.
