Yeah, sure are scums. they're paying a higher royalty rate than usual, which means the artists are going to make more money long term, even if they didn't get paid during the free trial. it's the artists who are greedy bitches. and now that apple is going to pay during the free trial, the whining taylor swift still won't allow her album to be streamed. now who is the scum? |

They handled this as perfectly as they could. that part is true. apple figured that in exchange for a higher royalty (which everyone is ignoring), apple would not pay during the free trial. that's what was *negotiated* with the music industry, so if you want lay blame, you have to blame *both* parties. |

That is not how the news reported the timeline. http://www.wsj.com/articles/taylor-s...ple-music-1434 916050 "Ooops, she's probably right" was revealing an omission that they were aware of, and should be "Ooops, we got caught". they didn't get caught at anything and you missed this part: Post trial-period, Apple is paying slightly more than Spotify to music owners. Apple is paying 71.5% of revenue vs. 70% from Spotify (premium tier). where's the anger towards spotify for paying less? How much of that royalty revenue actually gets paid to musicians varies, depending on the deals they have with the record labels that distribute their music in other words, it's the record labels who are stiffing artists. |

Apple is paying 71.5% of revenue vs. 70% from Spotify (premium tier). I didn't miss it. It's a different issue. where's the anger towards spotify for paying less? Why should I direct anger at Spotify? Let Taylor Swift direct her anger at Spotify. It's a different issue. She did. She pulled her music from Spotify last year. How much of that royalty revenue actually gets paid to musicians varies, depending on the deals they have with the record labels that distribute their music in other words, it's the record labels who are stiffing artists. It's a different issue. Stick to the subject: Apple tried to stiff the artists. They got caught. Yup! Why should the artists subsidize the launch of Apple's streaming service? -- Regards, Savageduck |
