R.I.P. Amy Winehouse! Her funeral is today =( So sad...
It goes without saying that there's going to be a big sales rush on Amy Winehouse albums.
Shortly after Amy's death, Microsoft was encouraging people to buy her music from their online outlet Zune.
A message appeared on their Xbox 360 public relations Twitter account, saying,"Remember Amy Winehouse by downloading the ground-breaking 'Back to Black' over at Zune."
After getting tons of negative feedback, Microsoft sent out another Tweet saying, "Apologies to everyone if our earlier Amy Winehouse 'download' tweet seemed purely commercially motivated. Far from the case, we assure you."
Meanwhile, Apple posted a picture of Amy on the front of the iTunes store with the caption, "Remembering Amy Winehouse".
And Amazon posted a brief obituary . . . with a link to a page where you can buy her music.
