U2 Threatens to Release Album Early on iTunes

Uninvited Guest writes "After a rough cut of U2's latest unfinished album was stolen earlier this week, the band has vowed to release the entire album on iTunes if the music appears on P2P networks. Bono told the London Daily Telegraph, 'If it is on the Internet this week, we will release it immediately as a legal download on iTunes, and get hard copies into the shops by the end of the month.' Is this the exact opposite of the Smashing Pumpkins' last album, which the band rushed to release on P2P networks, before it could hit the stores?"

    I am really sick of hearing people bitch about Michael Moore. You stupid F*cks who actually put Bush in office, and now look where we are. God forbid that someone actually try and educate the public as to what filthy, corrupt leaders Bush and his cronies are. Honestly, Bono has done more to try and help out other nations than Bush has. And I really don't *CARE* that you don't like Bono or U2 -- 'cause from based off the other statement you made, you're an absolute moron, and that invalidates anything you could say

    But seriously, Ashcroft. We know you're a Coward, but you're hardly Anonymous. Now quit trying to tar and feather anyone who disagrees with you and your silly pissing contest.
