Shkreli is human garbage. But from what I understand the whole purpose of the Wu Tang album was that it not get a commercial release. He followed the groups wishes

Correction, they sold the album and the rights to it. Any owner of the album can go and mass produce it. That's part of the reason why the sale was such a big deal.

No, not a correction at all as you're incorrect. Nobody is allowed to sell versions of it for 88 years. They can sell the single copy, but otherwise they can only give it away or play it at listening parties.

So which is it, "that it not get a commercial release" or "is allowed to sell version of it [after] 88 years"?

Both. The owner owns the single physical copy and the copyright/publishing rights. They can sell all of these, as a bundle, at anytime, obviously for millions of dollars. But the conditions for any future purchaser of the item and publishing rights are that they can't duplicate it for profit until next century. There are exemptions for private listening parties, and evidently free streaming. Its really not that hard to grasp.

You clearly have no idea who Shkreli really is lol. You are precisely the kind of person he’s trolling.

There is more to stories than what you read on the front page of reddit…

I literally called him human garbage. Regardless of what he would've liked to do with the Wu Tang album he was legally bound. I wish I was as worldly and enlightened as you though.

If you think you know somebody I dont then say it. Don't be obtuse and pretend it was a mic drop moment.

Why would I waste my time lecturing you when you clearly have a final opinion and you are passive-agressively insulting me on the opinion you just asked about ?

You called him human garbage. I’m calling you ill informed.

If you are passionate about him to the extent of calling him human garbage and insulting people who don’t share your opinion, why don’t you scratch that itch and go read up on him ? I’m sure you can read faster than I can type on my phone.

I've actually followed him pretty closely. I've listened to all of his bullshit excuses. Watched him talk for 40 minutes about it once. He's a fast talker. He has an answer for everything. But at the end of the day he did what he did and then followed it up with just some light felonies.

He's trash. Anyone simping for him might as well just stick with their musk fetish.
