China recently blocked access to the iTunes Store, allegedly over a pro-Tibetan album download. Once again, the move raised censorship concerns and offered a reminder of just how tricky China remains for Western companies. It was also a bummer for anyone inside of China hoping to download the album, a compilation titled Songs for Tibet.
Of course, sales within China quickly moved to zero, though the publicity could bump sales worldwide. The album, which features content from Sting, Alanis Morrisette, Suzanne Vega, Dave Matthews Band, and Damien Rice, has already sold more than 10,000 units digitally, according to digital distributor INgrooves.
Discussing the project with Digital Music News on Thursday, INgrooves chief executive Robb McDaniels noted that the company "hasn't seen a sales jump in the last twenty-four hours," though the Chinese ban could potentially create a sales ripple. Meanwhile, a physical version of the album hit retailers this week, though the digital copy has been available on iTunes since August 5th. The album was produced by the Art of Peace Foundation.
