NIN App Rejected By Apple
Band members of the popular rock group Nine Inch Nails are rallying against the folks at Apple today, as an app they had submitted for the iPhone was denied by the giant tech company. Apple’s reasoning is that the application is not appropriate for all audiences as it contains some non G rated material that some may find offensive.
Many folks believe Apple is inconsistent in the type of applications that they approve or deny, as apps like “iFart” are approved, but apps such as the one created by Nine Inch Nails are dismissed. It is thought that the band’s app was denied because it streams a version of their song titled “The Downward Spiral” and that song contains foul language. However, Apple does sell the song on iTunes to be played on the iPhone. Personally, I believe it is well within Apple’s right to choose which material they would like associated with their strong iPhone brand.
