And yet, they had the gall to force an album down our throats during their reveal last week. When I saw that U2 album in iTunes, I had to stop and ask myself why I was so pissed off about it. In theory, it was simply a nice gesture. But in reality, it was just a reminder that Apple is in control of my software, not me. It was a reminder that, ultimately, this company (and, in fairness, most companies) is going to fuck me over if it means more money for them. So, sorry Tim Cook! but you are full of shit. You will totally roll over and fuck me when money is on the line, either as a business opportunity or to avoid a fine. And guess what? I am screwed no matter what I do, because the choice is between convenience and Richard Stallman-esque software self-cripling, and the Dead Kennedys already know how that plays out.
