True, but is it what Ian Curtis would have wanted?
You're right about solo artists though as they're the only ones who can approve their own work. I don't mind posthumous releases by artists long gone such as old blues artists like Robert Johnson as it keeps their music alive, but for more recently deceased artists like Elliott Smith and even Amy Winehouse it is squeezing the money from their corpses in a way.
