iTunes access restored in China

The iTunes Store has had its access restored in China, and is available once again. Last week, local internet police decided to block iTunes access due to a pro-Tibet album sold through the store. The web page for downloading the pro-Tibet album, which is suspected of prompting the iTunes closure in the first place, remains unavailable on the service. 40 iTunes users in China, including athletes in the Olympic village, downloaded the album before the censors interrupted sales. It’s thought that “Songs for Tibet,” an album released by the Art of Peace Foundation in support of Tibetan independence, is the album responsible for this.
