Funny how fast people snap up domains, just waiting for the adsense to go on...

Profiteering from a website now that someone has passed away is no sicker than the record labels profiteering from exceedingly high levels of sales of his albums.

I see nothing wrong with what people are doing, even for the wrong reasons. It's still going to increase worldwide exposure and serve the fans a venue for them to remember MJ and appreciate him.

(I'm not flaming or anything, just shedding a personal opinion on the subject, I'm definitley open for discussion, just not the typical TF type of rude and obligatory rude discussion)

I agree with Anthony, I don't see what's so sick about it...

Had those domains not been registered, I'm sure you guys would be typing your details into paypal right now.

There's a difference... these people are deliberately rushing out to buy domains because of his death. That's really undignified... Record companies have signed deals with him directly, to produce and promote his music. Big difference.
