Talking to the Daily Mail, Sinead O'Connor said the giveaway wasn't "at all kosher".
Sinead O'Connor has taken aim at U2 and their partnership with Apple.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, she opines of Songs Of Innocence's September release:
"What they did with iTunes, was a badly judged move. There was something almost terrorist about it. I’m really not a U2 fan but it wasn’t at all kosher invading people’s lives like that. It was bad management. Funny thing is the kid who devised the app that removed the U2 album from people’s computers. He made a fortune apparently."
In the interview, the Irish singer also talked about her feud with Miley Cyrus.
"Her audience needs to be protected. She is selling sex and sexual imagery to very young kids and it’s wrong, it’s reckless and it’s dangerous.
"I was right when I said the Catholic church sexualised minors and I’m right about the music business doing the same. I know what I’m talking about. Miley even looks like a kid herself. She’s a very young-looking young woman. She’s come up through Disney, she was Hannah Montana, the whole thing.
"The music industry is sexualising the artists that look most like kids. Lady Gaga, who knows that half her audience are minors, was inviting them to simulate masturbation. What kind of people do that? As an artist you have to be conscious of minors."
