You've seen the contract? NORMALLY artists are still getting their royalties after
changing record companies. It's an exception if they don't. And if so, they are offered a nice "donation".
(At least in most European contries)

She is a big hit there. So of course they want to make some extra money out of it. It is not intensionally.

Speculation.

Exactly point is that the artist doesnt necessarily own the rights to their own music.

ah you got me. No I didnt see the contract. blast! I am relying on media reports. Read the posts before you post -

"Alizée's former music label, Universal Music released a compilation ablum, titled "Tout Alizée".[39] "

yes its only about money. perfect timing to release it to coincide with her three year hiatus end.

yes they wanted extra money at her expense. legal? of course. ethical? no its not. its morally repugnant. if that doesnt matter to you then you will see nothing wrong with it.

why are you being such a jerk anyway. omg ! you work for her old label? lol

Well, if she hadn't changed labels and they were releasing a greatest hits compilation (only in one market which caught on rather late) to coincide with her new album, would you have batted an eye?

Even if Lili doesn't receive a cent from this (which I doubt, given royalties and all), it can't hurt her. If it sells well, in fact, it can only help by raising her visability and marketability within the industry.

Thats true though
