Apple Backs Down Over Music Royalties After Taylor Swift Controversy

My son's seen her in concert twice, so I asked him what he thought about it.

He said he understood the royalties issues but thought Taylor Swift was being greedy. "She's like a billionaire or something," he said.

Well, I doubt she's that rich, but it's in the 100's of millions of dollars, for sure.

In any case, at Telegraph UK, "Apple changes policy on paying artists after criticism from Taylor Swift."

And see Taylor Swift, "To Apple, Love Taylor":
Taylor Swift will withhold her latest album “1989” from Apple Music, says lack of royalties during three month free trial hurts smaller artists.
