Over the weekend, Mr. Reznor published an e-mail message that he received from Apple’s iPhone developer group at his official Web site, nin.com. Apple wrote in the message that it would not carry the Nine Inch Nails iPhone application because it offered a streaming version of the band’s song “The Downward Spiral,” which Apple said was “objectionable content,” according to the e-mail message. On his Web site, Mr. Reznor wrote that though he loved Apple products, he urged the company to “think your policies through.” Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
