China blocks iTunes over the album “Songs for Tibet"

[El Comandante]

China is blocking iTunes, apparently over the album “Songs for Tibet,” a benefit for The Art of Peace Foundation (http://www.artofpeacefoundation.org/). The album features songs by Sting, Alanis Morissette, Garbage and others, and a 15-minute talk by the Dalai Lama. In an AP story, (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5in8dOLaFlPOW692Cen9zRAYjoASAD92N8L700) Michael Wohl, executive director of the foundation, said:
“We issued a release saying that over 40 (Olympic) athletes downloaded the album in an act of solidarity, and that’s what triggered it. Then everything got blocked,” Wohl said by phone.
