dragonsdongma replied to your post:So U2's new album is free... And it's been instantly downloaded to every Apple device... Without the user's concent?
not instantly downloaded. I had to go into itunes to download the entire album
It was fully downloaded on my iPod. But, it seems that at the recent conference announcing the iPhone 6, Apple said that they'd be releasing the album and offering it free to every iTunes user. Now that I know this, I'm a little less weirded out. It doesn't change the fact that it's a little unnerving. I didn't know if they'd charged me for it, it was fully downloaded, I don't necessarily like U2...
I'm a little less freaked out now that I know the reason behind it. It's still a little creepy, though.
