No one seems to have said this yet, but I wonder if Apple has done the following math:
expected negative value of bad pr = NPR
loss of customers from artists pulling songs = CUS
Cost of running PR Campaigns combating these stories = PR
Cost of paying artists for 3 month trial = TRIAL
Other forgotten costs = COSTS
If(NPR + CUS + PR) is greater than (TRIAL + COSTS) they should just pay the artists and make this go away. Obviously this is a very simplified example, but I wonder if Apple has done this sort of appraisal. I suspect they have.
