Sony Music has been accused of raising the price of a Whitney Houston album on Apple's iTunes Store within hours of the singer's death in the US.
Angry fans initially pointed the finger at Apple for the increase in price of Houston's greatest hits album, The Ultimate Collection, from £4.99 to £7.99.
However, The Guardian reports that it was actually record label Sony Music which increased the album's wholesale price at about 4am California time on Sunday.
Originally released in 1997, The Ultimate Collection was the second biggest-selling album on iTunes on Monday, after Apple returned the record to its original price late yesterday.
But fans of the singer have hit out at the temporary price increase as it came so close to the 48-year-old being found dead at the Beverly Hills Hilton on Saturday afternoon, local time.

It's unbelievably callous profiteering. I hope Sony get pirated into oblivion.
Personally I have not purchased and never will purchase any Sony product since the root kit fiasco.

Yes the list of own goals by Sony in the last few years just gets longer and longer.

Re: R.I.P Whitney Houston
I wish to remind everyone that the topic is the death of Whitney Houston not Sony or Apple products.

Re: R.I.P Whitney Houston
Whitney had an amazing voice, shame her life went in the direction it did and how her life ended.

Re: R.I.P Whitney Houston
