I know nothing about the Apple ecosystem, or this situation in particular, so no doubt I don't know what I'm talking about, but...am I the only one who thinks it's pretty messed up that Apple has to release an actual program that individuals have to download and run just to remove some unwanted album from iTunes?
I mean, I keep reading that iTunes is actually a pretty awful piece of software, but I thought its first and foremost purpose was to, y'know, manage music...

Nah, you've got that wrong.
It's actually derived from a quote from Igor: "I tunes people's brainses into the machineses."

I bought a Beatles album on i-tunes for windows. It was restricted to that machine only(a virtual machine), which was pathetic. Let's face it, I don't generally use Windoze or Apple.
So I downloaded my property from YouTube instead.

Actually, that is the software's second purpose and that is why the software is so bad.
I can definitely see how you'd be confused. Especially if you've never used The iTunes Virus. You would definitely believe it is software for managing music.
It's first purpose is to manage the human who bought the music. It's all about controlling when, where, how and who can listen to the music that you bought.
On the other hand if you buy music from Amazon, then you can just download the MP3s and manage them yourself.
More freedom!

Why not just buy the CD? Then you can rip the songs to whatever format you want and use them on whatever device you want.

CDs are extremely dangerous. Haven't you seen how they've actually inserted beacons into every one of them.
After that they can track you anywhere. No, I'm sticking with 8-tracks[^] and cassettes[^].
Am I funny yet?

I don't have Adobe Flash enabled so I didn't watch the video clip, but the text to that article was terrible.
Terrible reporting, right?
"Council officials are questioning energy bosses from Ofgem and the UK Power Network on Monday evening over the growing problem of pavement explosions across the capital."
THE END
What is the root cause? Electrical? Natural gas? A combination? Should I be wary of walking on any pavements?
Fake News Report: "These pavement monsters are angry, vicious and have been known to commit home invasions. Lock yourselves in and do not walk on the pavements or answer the door if they knock."

I'm sorry, I was up in Westminster yesterday and I had Turkish for lunch. There may have been too much Chick Peas for the system to handle. I know there was for mine.

What are they complaining about!? A little creative thinking and this is an advantage and tourism boon! Have power metal blasting from every PA system and suddenly you have the world's largest open air concert complete with pyrotechnics!
Do we have to think of everything for these people?

Your hypothesis sounds a bit... fishy to me.
You can lead a developer to CodeProject, but you can't make them think.
