China Reinstates iTunes Access — Minus Songs for Tibet

From the Wired:

China has lifted its general block on the iTunes store after apparently figuring out how to block access to just Songs for Tibet without shutting the whole store down.

The iTunes store went dark in China last week after word spread that the album, whose proceeds will be used for “peace initiatives and Tibetan cultural preservation projects important to the Dalai Lama,” was for sale there. Traceroute queries appeared to confirm that China’s authorities, who are very sensitive to pro-Tibet anything, simply shut down Apple’s music store to prevent local access to the the one album.
