"Apple will pay royalties to music labels and publishers during the three-month free trial of its Apple Music streaming service, the company has confirmed,
after protests from independent labels and musician Taylor Swift.
Independent label trade bodies in the US, UK, Germany, France and Australia spoke out against these plans in recent days, claiming that their members would be most at risk from any three-month blip in earnings if a large number of people buying music downloads from Apple’s iTunes store switched to the free trial.
“We struggle to see why rights owners and artists should bear this aspect of Apple’s customer acquisition costs,” claimed indie label group Beggars Group in a statement published on its website.
“As a whole the independent sector is a powerful voice in the music industry but its individual parts , the smaller labels particularly, cannot withstand such a potentially catastrophic drop in revenue,” added British indie trade body AIM in a statement sent out to its members."
I remember first seeing their posts when 1989 leaked and they were trying so hard to fight the fact that there was nothing to bash, finding bizarre ways to criticize her and doing it much more gently. It's only gotten worse since then
