\"U2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When it comes to the crunch, have they bitten off more than they can chew?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

U2 surprised a lot of people last week when they announced that they had come to an arrangement with Apple to give a free copy of their new album, ‘Songs of Innocence’ free to every iTune user.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

But not in a good way, for many. A good portion of younger iTune users had never heard of the Irish rockers and didn’t appreciate their music being foisted upon them. They complained that they wanted to choose their own music and they found this freebie more of a nuisance than anything else. Instructions on how to delete the offending download have been all over the Web since.<\/p>\n
