Shameless Pandering
OK, so I don’t normally beg for links. In fact, I never do. It very unbecoming, and — quite frankly — I’m happy with the amount of traffic I attract. Not too little, and not too much.
All that being said, I want to increase the chances that the following information finds its way into Apple. And Disney. But mostly Apple.
Read the comments. They are a precious combination of funny, insightful, and sad. Very, very sad.
So, if you can spare a link for the cause, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Still not prefect: the block tag is still something of a mystery, I’m working on the assumption that it’s just empty and that its presence blocks the channel or item from appearing in the music store.
