I honestly think it was accidental. It looks like a classic case of a simple executive decision that appeared so trivial as to skip a careful consideration of the implementation.

Which isn't to excuse it: it was very un-Apple-like. And it certainly wasn't the only un-Apple-like turn last week.

It would not have been the "the biggest album launch ever" if it was just posted on iTunes - it would have been just like any other album release. They had to push it out.

Care to expound on the other "un-Apple-like" moves?

Probably a reference to the plethora of technical problems with the livestream.
