Apple releases U2 album removal tool (Leo Kelion, BBC News)

Everything. As It Happens.
looking forward to the ‘U2 removal’ tool.
…or indeed the ‘U2 tool’ removal.
total recall
Hoping they release it for Windows, Android, etc. Very useful.
U2 were paid $100m by apple, so they didn’t give it away for free at all, quite the opposite… I am sure they still are against people illegally downloading their music as in 2008……another great post!
+USD$100,000,000
Methinks you’ve missed the point Reed. Previously Bono was moaning about people taking his product for free, and now the public wants a way to not receive his product, even when free. It’s a comment on their ‘audience’ not on his position on downloads.
You are right…I am wrong and feel bad now….apologies
It’s free to the people, like a gift that keeps on irritating.
indeed, lets all clap for bono
Just like you then Clampers.
Just like me :)
Bizarrely the Artists tab on iTunes now seems to be a silhouette of Bono
If you’re eager for a loss of innocence…

The words ‘Bono’, ‘pox’ and ‘is a’ spring to mind.
very grown up
Take a hint U2. When people are complaining about the free album on their iTunes or ipods, and an app is created to help remove the album quickly, its time to call it a day
Or it’s time to break out the champagne for a marketing campaign that keeps on giving
All this and the physical release has still yet to come followed by the world tour
But yeah, time to pack it in. The well is dry

Put in your Apple ID and it’s removed.
I always have a good laugh at the way people get so bent out of shape about things like this. Obviously people in “1st World” countries have little else to be worrying about than the storage space on their devices. All this rubbish about U2 and they are in decline – tosh. If Eminem, Kayne West, 1Direction did the same thing I would look to have the album removed after a listen just to see how crap it was. Beautiful thing about music is the diversity of tastes people have and their is no right or wrong opinion in this context. Rest assured there are a huge number of people out there who are delighted to be getting a free copy of the U2 release and it’ll help Apple drive people back towards iTunes and the inevitable streaming service that they bought when they acquired Beats. Modern day marketing – you have to love it
Wrong! U2 are sh1te and itunes is sh1te
AS I said that ere is no right or wrong – thats what they are to you. Very strong possibility that based on your aggressive way of putting your point across I’d likely steer well clear of anything that you consider worth listening – but I hope you enjoy listening to it whatever it is
