The hipster uproar after Apple downloaded a free copy of U2's new album to all iTunes accounts, apparently reached Cupertino. Or perhaps it made it to Ireland were Bono and U2 demanded a response. Either way Apple has created a web page that facilitates one-click instant removal from your iTunes library. **The instructions read:**

If you would like U2’s *Songs of Innocence* removed from your iTunes music library and iTunes purchases, you can choose to have it removed. Once the album has been removed from your account, it will no longer be available for you to redownload as a previous purchase. If you later decide you want the album, you will need to get it again. The album is free to everyone until October 13, 2014 and will be available for purchase after that date.
