It’s the principle of the thing.

Morrisey would like to ask you not to purchase the boxed edition of his music being released by EMI. All of the listener-rights blogs picked it up and ran with it as another example of an artist championing the rights of the listener. From the linked article:
that he wouldn’t receive any money from the reissues, released on November 2,
“Morrissey does not approve such releases and would ask people not to bother buying them. Morrissey receives no royalty payments from EMI for any back catalogue, and has not received a royalty from EMI since 1992.”
and in case you’re not clear on his stance:
“Morrissey last received a royalty payment from Warners ten years ago and, once again, he would ask people not to bother buying the reissued LPs or CDs.”
