Do they actually take a 30% cut? If they're accounting in that manner, then it's likely that Apple Music is running at a substantial loss, which would constitute predatory pricing under EU competition law.
- ihuman 8y agoDoes it count as a loss if they’re both taking that loss on iOS users?
- threeseed 8y agoYou have an overly simplified view of Apple Music. It’s on multiple platforms, it’s tied to Beats, it has a relationship with iTunes Store, there is advertising involved etc. So there could be multiple licensing and revenue sharing deals that mean Apple Music is not running at a loss. In fact I think it’s likely than you’re wrong.
