Taylor Swift love her or hate her is a powerful woman and recently wrote a blog post citing she will not be putting her new album on Apples music service in a blog post HERE she said the following and it seems to have worked a treat and Apple have now said they will pay up which is proper order.
“Three months is a long time to go unpaid, and it is unfair to ask anyone to work for nothing. I say this with love, reverence, and admiration for everything else Apple has done. I hope that soon I can join them in the progression towards a streaming model that seems fair to those who create this music. I think this could be the platform that gets it right.
But I say to Apple with all due respect, it’s not too late to change this policy and change the minds of those in the music industry who will be deeply and gravely affected by this. We don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation”
In response to this Apple have finally folded and this is what Eddie Cue tweeted out this morning…
#AppleMusic will pay artist for streaming, even during customer’s free trial period
