The internet remains a curious place...One of the biggest rock bands on the planet, *U2* have teased the possibility of new material for some time.
Last night (September 9th) something curious happened. U2 confirmed news of their new studio album, with the physical version of 'Songs Of Innocence' due to arrive on October 13th.
In an interesting movie, Apple 'gifted' the album to over half a billion iTunes Music Store customers worldwide - whether they wanted it or not.
Here's a few reactions:
I just woke from the most terrible nightmare, in which a U2 album appeared in my iTunes library even though I didn't want it there. Crazy!

Half a billion people get "given" the new U2 LP. Half a billion people immediately sue Apple for wilful distribution of a malignant virus
