DJones	Now it's possible to delete the spam.
K	I remember TiVo users being very upset when their boxes automatically recorded Caroline Aherne's new comedy based on the fact that they'd watched The Royle Family. In fact there was quite a backlash with people refusing to watch it out of principle. That was just a TV programme. Music is a whole different ball-game, music reflects peoples personalities and lifestyle choices. How can Apple and U2 have thought that forcing music on individuals was ever going to be a good idea?
DJones	Rock'n'Roll as dystopian junk mail "In this brave new farrago of medium and message, U2 seem to have transmitted all of rock-and-roll’s misguided egotism into one ridiculous statement: Our music is technically worthless and everyone in the world should hear it. That’s what this band is “all about,” and Apple is happy to do its part, making you the owner of these songs without asking your permission. Which is disgusting."

DJones	Everyone is mad at Apple for U2 stunt "It's true that Apple's wine-drinking, plane-flying user base probably overlaps with U2's cool-dad core audience more than most bands. Still, 500 million people can't all be expected to delight in the arrival of a rock album, no matter how bland and inoffensive it is."
