It's one thing to stream it to fans for a bit but this seems like a game changer to have Apple just distribute a big name bands album for free. When I logged into my iTunes it just said "purchased". I didn't have to do anything to get it. At that point I could stream it from iCloud or download the tracks. It doesn't seem like they can count every iTunes account holder as a true purchaser of the album. Maybe they only count the downloads?

Apparently Apple paid U2 100 m USD to release the album for free.
