 Honestly, you'd be tempted to believe that  Steve Jobs got out of the grave and sexually molested those people judging by the way they complain. 




Typical apple fanboi statement right there . ;)

A real fanboi would also have to dig U2, no? ;)

Smiles not-with-standing, there's some classic "barrier" body language going on between these two whenever the original event happened!

"U2's album spam PR stunt has destroyed decades of legacy quicker than hitting a delete button..."
 
That's great objective journalism right there... Next up - Yelp reviews. ;)

Honestly - all my U2 fan friends were happy to find the album available for free in their account. If U2 has a legacy, it depends on their fans and people who like their music, as far as I'm concerned. 
 
But I guess that it would make for a less exciting article to write a blog about the millions of people who didn't fall into hysteria and simply didn't mind or were just happy to download the record. You wouldn't get as many clicks being rational or not making outrageous claims.
 
Especially not if you're writing for an online gossip web page with no other sort of content and no established legacy in the real world. Not that a magazine legacy matters - Rolling Stone magazine verbally destroyed and snubbed most of the biggest classics out there...
 
My wife - who hates U2 with a passion - was utterly annoyed to see it amongst her purchases. But I don't think U2's legacy is doing any worst for that.

Still I love the fact that people will not be dictated to however small and irrelevant it may be. Showbiz is easy wish bankers and policitians got the same stick...
