Couple of thoughts here:
1) If you're an indie artist and you can afford to opt-out of Apple Music on principle, then clearly you can afford to opt-in for the three free months. Either way you're not making money from Apple Music. If you opt-in, you make more money in the long-term. If you opt-out, you continue to earn from your current streaming and downloads.
2) If you think that Apple Music will be so earth-shatteringly successful from day one that it will destroy your business -- then your business model is razor thin and completely unsustainable.
