Is it wrong to make money from a tragedy?
Shortly after singer Whitney Houston’s death earlier this month, Sony Music raised the price of two of her albums on the UK version of iTunes. The change prompted a backlash and the company later reversed the decision and declared that they were “mistakenly mispriced”. In a difficult business environment, should the company have seized the commercial opportunity?

In this cold, hard world, yes. Seizing the opportunity to capitalize on anything, even a tragedy, is still called “business sense.” Morally, however…REPREHENSIBLE.
