New U2 album on iTunes now - and it's FREEEE!!

[Brightonfan1983]

It automatically downloaded to my iTunes and automatically put on my iphone. I don't want this shit on my phone, why does Apple think I do?

Well, Apple and iTunes can do no wrong in my eyes as you know but they certainly have got it right streaming the great First Aid Kit RIGHT NOW in concert, excellent stuff and a band member from Brighton to boot

I gave it a couple of listens today, and it's quite good. The band are probably not bothered about giving it away to 500 million people, as the interest generated should see healthy sales of their back catalogue :ker-ching:

Supposedly Apple paid U2 c$100 million for the album..

You could be right

Same rules apply

The interest generated in their back catalogue will cover Apple's costs handsomely, as they have the rights I believe

U2 are a fantastic band, and Bono does so much good in the world trying to stop poverty in the world. Who cares about the tax dodging issue, i don't like paying too much tax either.

He is a superb humanitarian in my view but millions slag him off no doubt out of envy.

Nah. It's part of a $100 marketing campaign.

Not paying his taxes whilst claiming to want to help the poor is massively hypocritical surely?

Now I know remember why I haven't bought a U2 album for the best part of 30 years.
