If this succeeds, and that's a big IF. I can't wait for my fave "X" ha power arguments

Jay is about to hustle so many fans who'll sign up for 30 day trials, forget to cancel, and get charged.

I still haven't made up my mind about Tidal. I usually buy music from the artists I regularly support and stream music when I'm working out or on a long car ride. Spotify is better than Pandora but not by that much. I'm hoping TIdal has more stuff to offer in the future. If there will be exclusive videos, and interviews like I'm hearing I MAY give the Carters my coin(again).

Of course Madonna would join this movement of greed. Surprised Loose is not in that video, respecting her a bit more now.

That biggest campaign right now is that producers, writers, etc. aren't properly being compensated. The buying public didn't care about that when artists were selling albums and they don't care about that now. There needs to be more to the business plan than that.

I mean if Beats can sell its headphones for $300, I wouldn't be surprised if Tidal gets away with selling people HQ audio.

This trailer is so cringe-worthy, they all sit there dead serious like a bunch of people who are about to lose all of their life savings.

Dre, Jimmy (the one behind the U2 album mess) and Zane Lowe. I'm already more interested..

Plus:

whew
All the power in that room.

Why aren't songwriters like Diane Warren or producers like Max Martin speaking out against Spotify? Doesnt it hurt their field so much, as Taylor and Jay say?

Asking us to join a "movement" as if it's some civil rights issue

Well in comparison to Taylor specifically they have been around much longer. Also a good majority of their hits came out YEARS before Spotify so I'm sure this isn't exactly crippling them. Also for Artists the money they could get from Album sales and streaming(if compensated properly) could definitely make a change in the industry but not so much for producers and writers who are compensated through performance royalties, and radio airplay.

I wanna know where the **** all this money is going if:

-the writers are paid poorly
-Spotify doesn't make profit

I think major artists need to start signing more lucrative deals to make their music exclusive to certain services, similar to how the video streaming industry works. At the very least, it'll prompt a reevaluation of the industry. They really shouldn't let people get acquainted with unlimited access to all music from every artist whenever they want. Why should people have access to that in the first place?

On a related note, I think piracy will become less prevalent as people continue to shift towards mobile devices.

It's going to the artists and operating costs. Ironically, the reason Spotify makes no money is because it pays too much to artists. The model just doesn't bring in enough money.

What is the purpose of the '#TidalForAll' movement?

But singers and perfomers can make their money from touring, while producers and songwriters like Diane make their money off sales, streaming and whatnot, and from what I've read, they are the ones struggling to make a dime

A mess, what a silly video

'will they finally mention that rebel heart is available on iTunes?'
