3. It is a free album for crying out loud! I've never heard so many folks complain about getting something for free. And if you don't want it - just don't download it. In Apple iTunes store, and in Google Play - there's a bunch of free stuff available to the masses - but folks don't complain about that...
4. Shamelessly taken from the random pics thread (originally posted by Kang): apparently, this isn't the first time a U2 album was offered for free with a media device:

4. actually it is, 5 minutes of looking show that ad is a fake:

snopes.com: Free U2 Tape with Every Cassette Player

free album? I agree it wasn't automatically download but it was placed in the Itunes library without consent. Sure 1 album might be ok, what about 10? 50? Sound like fun to log into your library and have to remove all the "free" crap Apple has decided to put there for you?

Guess no one should complain about junk mail either...come on, its a free book of checks for crying out loud!!!
