Did U2 sell out by partnering with Apple in a band-branded iPod, and letting their music underscore Apple commercials? Some fans think so, but the band vigorously defends it decision in this USA Today article. Drummer Larry Mullen on Apple—
"They are going to save our asses and your music. The record business failed to find a way to have music downloaded legitimately. Apple succeeded."
Of course, that's really about the iTunes Music Store, not the iPod with which U2 has affiliated.
