I'm afraid this is what happens if the CEO is not a music lover, and just
a businessman.  But this is up to shareholders to change that, and key
shareholders are businessman as well, and this is why it's not the quality
and value that matters but quick capital return no matter what piece of
shit it might be, as long as it sells...  However if you hold even a single
Sony share you can officialy disagree with their internal directives and
although you will not succed they will have to answer you, and maybe if
many music lovers would do such a small thing they would make someone up
there think again.
