Weblog:   Apple rejects iMix playlist

I think Brian that Apple is into the field of education and that market seems to be big in the Elementary School areas so I guess Apple having a theme such as ' an iMix for your wanking pleasures ' to have a detrimental effect on expanding that market.
personally if I were a big business, I'd also refuse that playlist even if It doesn't personally offend me. No use in potentially offending my customers. Better safe than sorry.
I'm sure you could have that kind of thing on your personal website if you wanted to so you and your friends could wank all you want without scaring off business.
So I do not see this as some kind of 'Big Business Conspiracy'. Please stay away from that mindset of being controlled.

    The funny thing here is that Apple will sell these songs to you, individually. Where does that leave their no-offense policy?

    I don't see any Big Business Conspiracy either, and I don't see Apple marketing the iPod and iTunes Music Store only in the education market segment.

    It is clear why they refused it, and I don't necessarily disagree with it, but if they want to play in the global market, they have to come to grips with what the market wants, and that is not always going to be sanitized, non-offensive topics.
