Walmart does this all the time. If you buy a CD that should have explicit lyrics at Walmart, they're bleeped out. Walmart refuses to sell music otherwise.

- iamdave 16y agoThat's an unfortunate side effect of shopping at WalMart.
- CamperBob 16y agoIt's a hell of a lot more than an 'unfortunate side effect.' When 30-40% of your product's sales go through WalMart, you will toe their party line when you write and edit the content you're selling. Any sufficiently dominant corporation is indistinguishable from a government. Eventually people are going to understand that.
- WiseWeasel 16y agoThe differences are that, 1) the music distributors supplying Walmart were already distributing "clean" versions for radio play, so Walmart simply chose those versions over the explicit ones, and 2) you can buy CDs from any other retailer than Walmart and get the explicit versions if you want. You can only get iPhone software from the App Store.
