They caved in to idiocy.  The first store never owned the cds in the 
first place, so there's no way the competitor bought the cds when they 
bought the store.  So the competitor doesn't own the cds any more than 
the first store ever did.  I believe that the competitor didn't 
necessarily understand that and were bullying enough to the local band 
in question to get them to cave in, but it doesn't mean they had any 
legal right to do so.
