U2 and Apple ruffled plenty of feathers with the viral rollout of the free album Songs of Innocence, which prompted many users to complain that the album appeared on their phone without consent and was difficult to remove. The blowback was evidently enough to make Apple scramble for a solution, since it just unveiled a simple tool to remove the album.
