like many have said - it is what it is and good for the label to make their money back. Obviously the question of how much money the label was making by selling GNR's album and if it was fair from a humanistic perspective will always be there, but a deal's a deal and since the Illusions era you could argue that the band was throwing money away by renting expensive studios for months, bunch of equipment and techs, etc. It's a point that various members have noted in their bios and for Axl to keep delaying the album so much was lunacy. Of course Mr. Rose himself came here and gave his perspective on the whole ordeal and how there was always a conspiracy behind his back to reunite the old band but I'm glad that at least we got some music released with a decent master in the 20+ plus years I've been a fan.
