Lol I gotta think of how to say this without getting banned. Do you think for a second, Interscope is going to say, Hi Collector of things, we're sorry to inform you that snoop dogg didn't actually sign these. We are very very sorry. 

And no one buys these signed releases for the music. We buy to have the autograph and buy to resell the autographs. 

If they were misrepresenting things, then I'll return it out of principle to cost the label/artist money.  Money is a language these companies understand. Don't want to incur additional costs?  Then don't rip people off with false advertising. It's the only real way you have to influence them from doing this nonsense in the future. 

All so they can chart higher. They don't care about the buyer. 

Yep, because if I remember right, one unit of physical media sold is weighted the same as 1500 streams for Billboard charting purposes.  So if someone bought the limit of 4 for the CD and 4 of the LP, that juiced their charting numbers by the equivalent of 12,000 streams.  And most people couldn't stream something 12,000 times in the release week if they did it on multiple devices for 24 hours a day. 

If they wanted to rectify this, they'd do revised charting where they go back and adjust figures a month later. And if you had huge returns-you can lose your #1 record status.  The problem is, that'd just result in "no refunds/returns" policies and consumers having to launch massive numbers of chargebacks.  Because history tells us the recording industry can't help itself when it comes to exploiting everyone from the artist down to the consumer. 

they promote the autograph in order to sell product.  I have no doubt that "signing" these, or at last advertising that they are "signed", drastically improves sales of the product.

They are probably doing the math and come to the conclusion that only a small percentage of fans will know the difference and return them.

and for what its worth in my opinion, there is ZERO chance that SD signed these.  

I wonder if those of us in California can pull together a class action lawsuit. False advertising, selling fake or forged memorabilia etc. There is a law against this. Any attorneys here? https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_...

I literally said the same thing to my wife about an hour ago

we all have to voice our displeasure on his facebook page so every one knows other wise its just us here on our site

We need a class action against one or two of these record companies. Until someone challenges them with the law they will continue. You can voice your displeasure all you want on on social media but until it hits the courts, it will continue. We have a very specific law in California. Problem is, nobody uses it to go after the companies doing it. So we need to do both. Be loud and litigious...

Rather feminine looking, IMO. Not that that means anything. At best could be a mix of real and ghost. I dont think Ill keep mine.

I had the same thoughts.
