- izacus 11y agoWhat do the records company have to do with Apple demanding that she gives away her songs for free to stay on iTunes music service?
- ikeboy 11y agoThat's only to join Apple Music, not to stay on iTunes.
- dombili 11y agoIn deals like this, service providers don't have the upper hand, content providers do. Apple wouldn't have been able to offer free 3 month trial if record companies wouldn't have agreed to it. Maybe I'm misinformed, but did Apple come out and say that if she doesn't put her albums on its streaming service, she'd be off iTunes music service? Why on earth would they do that? It'd be a PR nightmare for them and they'd lose money.
