Mark, all they did was make it available to people. If they don't want it they don't have to download it and soon it will just go away. I see no problem here accept all of the folks griping about it.

You stated that if someone gave you a free CD, you would accept it graciously. The key word here is accept. No doubt that you would, as would I. However, that is not what Apple did, What they did is more like : You come home, one evening, open up your locked house, and find that someone broke into your house and placed a CD on your kitchen table without first asking permission to enter your house. It is not the free album that I and others object to but the way in which they delivered it.

I don't know who Kim is and I guess this is one example where repeating statements from others without checking results in spreading wrong information. When I opened iTunes I did not see the album because I have iTunes set not to show "purchases in the cloud". I had to first uncheck that in Settings before I saw the album at which point the album showed up, but I definitely had to download it first. On my phone I also am not showing my iCloud music and the album still is not showing. I manage the music on my phone via iTunes and I sync selected music so until I connect my phone to iTunes and check U2 this will not sync to my phone which means it will not take up a single Bite of space on my phone. I am really surprised how many people are upset with Apple for giving them a free album especially one from a popular band. Yes, not everybody may like U2, but what ever happened to "you don't look a gift horse in the mouth". If somebody gave me that CD physically as a present I would not bite off their head, but I would thankthem and if I didn't like it I would either give the CD away or throw it in the garbage later. It appears that in about a month this will disappear from people's accounts if you don't download it.

I thought it worked that way too but Kim is reporting that this one is being downloaded automatically and to get it off your device you have to move it to the cloud or somewhere but you can't get it out of ITunes. I am just saying what she is reporting not authenicating her statements.

Music you buy is like apps you buy and it has nothing to do with iTunes. Anyhow, if you don't download it to your iPhone or other iDevice it takes up no space just like an app you once bought and deleted takes up no space, but it's still there in your purchase history for you to download if you want it.

Hi, According to Kim Komando Apple did this but once it is in your ITunes you can't get rid of it. And, it is taking up most of the memory on small memory IPhones. Wow am I glad I almost never use ITunes. Dan Beaver From: Teresa Cochran Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2014 7:13 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Where did it come from? I found it amusing to see the schtick Tim Cook pulled with that. It was fun, and while I'm not fanatical about U2, I'll give it a listen. I thought the song that was performed was pretty nice. But hey, if you don't like them, you can remove them. It doesn't count against your iCloud space, though.

That was a stunt Apple pulled on Tuesday, basically crediting every Apple ID tied to an iOS device with the album. Instead of a code to download it, though, it essentially told iTunes that everyone "bought" the album. It was free to everyone, and now everyone has it in their purchase history. Surprise!
