Tony Scott was behind many great Hollywood films that entertained me over the years and I was very sad to hear of his passing this past Sunday. If anyone would have tried to sell coffee mugs with Steve Jobs' image on it less than 48 hours after his death I would have been outraged. If Apple would have tried to sell a bundle of Steve Jobs' keynotes in that same time frame I would have flipped. To me, the fact that iTunes is now promoting Tony Scott films at this time, is distasteful. The man isn't even buried yet. There'll be a time to celebrate Anthony David Scott's life, but this is a form of exploitation and I'm greatly disappointed in Apple for their move. Don't blame the studios. Apple could have said no at the timing of this promotion and didn't. As a fan, my heartfelt condolences go out to the Scott Family.
Apple Should have taken the higher road and simply built on the tribute to Tony Scott that is shown below. Adding the promotion to sell his films at this time is what's so objectionable. Apple did this with Whitney Houston earlier this year and it now appears to be a disappointing trend on iTunes.
