Are you kidding? This disc is a godsend to any fan who couldn't (for
whatever reason, be it time, money, or location) find these songs. i live
in asia and the record stores in this country don't carry singles. Now U2
makes it easy for everybody to own these songs and you get offended? Do you
think putting effort into getting these songs makes you the only one worthy
of owning them? wouldn't a real u2 fan be happy that all these songs are
now easily available so everybody else can enjoy them too?
