Apple launches a special page just to help you delete that U2 album

During the iPhone 6 announcement event Apple announced a special surprise for every iTunes user -- a free copy of U2's new album before it was available outside iTunes. It was supposed to make people happy and excited, but many users were upset to discover an album they didn't purchase show up in their iTunes without their permission. Some users were just ticked off to now have a U2 album on their computer, regardless of how it got there. They just wanted to know "how can you delete Songs of Innocence from my computer?"

Apple has heard the cries of these users and created a special page that will allow you to easily delete the album from your iTunes. The simple launch page features almost no graphics, simply the minimalist album cover, text, and a "Remove Album" button. It's a sad page, with the air of disappointment to it. A desolate reminder that haters are going to hate, and privacy is still incredibly important to iOS users. Gifts are wonderful. They just don't want someone putting them in their house without their knowledge.
