Heh... Yes, it must be that horrid, greedy Tim Cook's doing! How dare
he?! What an asinine statement. It couldn't possibly have anything to do
with the fact that the target audience simply doesn't appreciate the
gifts Apple and artists give away for free (U2gate anyone?). Could it
possibly be that Apple just realizes that free gifts just aren't good
enough for the foolish entitlement generation that shits on anything
that is not both *free* and *exactly* what *they* want, or they jump
onto their favorite hate wagon? While none of us really know the
reasoning behind the decision, I'm definitely not surprised in the
slightest Apple pulled the plug considering the ungrateful behavior of
so many fools. 

(Personally, I never saw the attraction anyway since I'm not into
derivative pop music.)
