so i just noticed the "three's company" banner on one of the forums. this got me wondering.
why is it that when celeb's die, you can just about bet your paycheck that some sort of commemorative, best-of, whatever will be available for sale.
is there a legal reason behind this? maybe the celeb dies, so the property rights go to someone else? it's "out of the hands" of the celeb...so to speak?
now, i suppose some people will appreciate the effort and consider it a way to commemorate the passing of the individual...but i'm really doubting that's what the marketing guys are thinking.
i can't help but think it's just another way for someone to make a quick buck "while the gettin's hot".
