Forcing that one record on everybody, including many people that didn’t want it, rubbed a lot of folks raw.

If it were opt in, sure, that’s a nice touch, great job U2.

But Apple wanted to show off so they forced it into everybody’s iPod library and now folks have to engage with U2 in a way they didn’t want.

That one is 100% on Apple, but they have the best PR squad the world has ever seen, so a mere rock star is going under the bus no matter what.

Bono may or may not be a douche. He is very vocal about his charity work. I don’t think that’s such a bad thing if you’re famous and believe in a cause but you sure do attract haters that way.
