    While this is not exactly "news", we felt it would be important to notify fans of a new post made by Mike on his blog that details the differences between buying Download To Donate For Haiti on iTunes vs. through Music For Relief. Quoting from the post itself:

    "Yep, Download To Donate is available on iTunes. A majority of the of the proceeds on iTunes still go to Haiti. We all would have preferred for 100% to go, but they refused to waive their fee…it was a tough call, but getting the word out to the iTunes fan base won in the end.

    Therefore, the simple answer is this: for those of you who donate on http://musicforrelief.org/, 100% of your donation goes to Haiti. For those who donate on iTunes, it’s not 100%. If this isn’t ideal for you, feel free to comment on the iTunes page and let Apple know!!!    "

    I really dislike Apple for this. Why did they have to collaborate with Itunes on this
    just for the exposure

    Disgraceful by itunes. They're basically making money off people helping aid a country that's gone through one of the worst natural disasters on record.

    I blame the people who work for Apple, not the program of iTunes.

    Oh, iTunes knows what is going on. It can play dumb all it likes, but it fucking knows.
