And hence why I said that whole point was useless and irrelevant. It's still irrelevant. We were never talking about after the trial.

Would you pay $10 to hear an album for a week, then go to the store and buy it for $10 again? Like the rest of the world, no. Unless the album is remaining on Streaming solely permanently why would the 25M people who buy her CD pay $10 for a service to have a temporary, then $10 more to buy a CD again?....

Who said they're going to buy it? Ever? Who said they were? Who said any of this?

If the label is losing 10M+ CD's from Streaming only, then they're gonna go ahead and need to make the profit back. To make the profit for 10M CD's currently, you'd need over 15,000,000,000 streams. On a 10 track album that is the equivalent to 1.5B streams per track. The most streamed song in Spotify history has 400M tracks. Pls explain how scientifically that's gonna happen to reimburse the loss with CD's. Apple's pay would have to be well over $100M, to cover all losses for Streaming w/ no physical release permanently. Apple paying $100M for one album? Sure Jan.
& why are you so angry?

Why on Earth are you assuming that iTunes would do with any intent to reimburse losses or make a profit? Why would they pay the full value of that many streams to an artist who
isn't losing physical sales they wouldn't lose anyway? Did you not understand me when I suggested that this could be something where Apple Music has the streaming rights, but all other aspects of release are the same?
Like physical and ****? Jfc
Anyway, I suppose the concept of a loss-leader is just lost on you. And nah, it wouldn't be $100m+, that's so illogical.
Why would Amazon ever sell a brand new Lady Gaga album for $0.99 while paying the artist in full?
Oh, right, to
attract customers! So those who might not have... tried Apple Music but see it's got something they're interested in, in this case? Wow, what a thought!
If I sound "angry," it's because "exasperated" doesn't translate well through text.
