There's an excellent new Eurovision compilation out of the very best... featuring both Gina G and Katrina, I notice.

If I am thinking of the right person, Mike, he does far worse than that, does he not? Is this not one of his many ebay accounts he uses for his dubious dealings?
Those undignified scrambles for CD's by the "press" at press conferences rarely happen now. They usually turn up in your pigeon hole, or you have to hand in your card to get the rarer ones.
In general, I don't think there's anything wrong with selling the odd spare on Ebay, though I have never bothered myself. Deliberately blagging as many as you can for financial gain is another matter though.
Personally, I get accredited for the genuine love of the contest and the experience, and since you can now buy all the songs on one convenient CD package, I don't make any effort at all to obtain anything. Hey, it's not often I occupy any sort of moral high ground, though I do enjoy all the free booze and food!

At this rate he will be able to afford to come and live next door to you !

I can name and shame the person doing this but I won't
He gets himself accredited each year and lists this stuff on Ebay while he is out there, as soon as he grabs them at each press conference. Sadly he is one of many.
They argue it pays for their trip but do they really have the right to do this so blatantly ? I expect it pays for much more than the cost of their week away !
