Why has Apple made such a simple program only available to users who have upgraded to iOS 7? I am still happily using iOS 6 (iOS 7 won't sync unless you have installed the latest iTunes 11, which I don't like), so this program is not available to people like me.
Keep in mind why Apple is doing this. They've not undergone a Scrooge-like conversion to Lots of Free Stuff for Everybody. They know that quite a few people got iPads, iPhones and iPod touches this Christmas. They want to introduce them, targeted group by targeted group, to Apple's lucrative ecosystem, particularly iTunes. December 26th may not be about your group, but your day will probably come.
Yeah, no kidding. I was really hoping for a free d/l of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" trilogy, in HD. /s
Apple had the HD trilogy earlier this year at $10.00 dollars per movie here in Canada. And yes, I bought them. Also, Apple has a lot of movies on right now for $10.00 CDN.

I've said a few times already this Christmas season...YOU DON'T NEED THE APP!! Open iTunes and search for it.
I suppose it is the thought that counts. But seriously, Justin Timberlake? Great way to alienate customers who aren't children or old women.
Judging by the iTunes charts, Apple are just playing to their core audience. Can't really blame them for trying to make the most people happy even if it isn't to your tastes.
Not to look a gift horse in the mouth but Justin Timberlake just ain't my cup of tea. Found these songs unlistenable with inferior sound quality and trashed 'em.

Not my cup of tea either, so didn't bother downloading them, 10 gifts to go, 10 chances that there will be something I like.
In Australia it's already day two, see earlier post.

Exactly.
We might not be the biggest JT fans in the world (though I do actually think he's a pretty decent actor), but it's ridiculous to argue that a free JT download won't make LOTS of people happy. Right or wrong, the guy's very popular.

I'd rather pay 99cents to see this offer never ever available again.
I'm bringing Santa back
Them other elves don't know how to act
I think it's special what's behind your back
So turn around and I'll pick up the sack
Take em’ to the sleigh!
Santa Claus
You see these reindeer
Hooked up to your sleigh
They’ll let you whip them if they go too slow
It’s just that naughty makes me get this coal
Yep, 11 days.
I hope Jony didn't pick this album exposing his bad taste in music as well as UX design
Because 80% of devices use iOS 7? Because they couldn’t care less about people who whine about getting used to new software?

Only 11 more days of people bitching about free downloads...
Exactly what I was thinking. What's that old saying? Oh, yeah I remember. Some people just aren't happy unless they're complaining.

I enjoy him when he's on SNL.
