Frankly Tesla would be stupid not to issue as much stock as possible when it's trading far above its intrinsic value.

If anything happens to the traditional watch industry it will be over a long period once people are conditioned into having something with more utility on their wrist.

I haven't tried it yet but this isn't surprising to me at all. Every recent Apple product has had a slow burn until mainstream adoption except for the iPad which exploded out of the gate. I think the Mac might have had the slowest

Techdirt's usual bias fits in-line with HN's bias so that doesn't seem likely.

I think so. Apple Music streams are working though so they don't seem to be using AWS for everything.

The situation is absolutely similar because the outrage was about "rich millionaires asking for more money".

Guess you didn't see the reaction to the Tidal unveiling. All those artists have loyal fans as well.

The story then changes from "Taylor Swift making sure artists are compensated for their work" to "Taylor Swift wants more money". Apple was never going to pay royalty rates based on people that paid $10 a month for the s

Aren't you forgetting that this was about making sure artists were compensated for their work? That's been now met. Apple isn't going to offer them the same rate they would get when people paid for the service when they aren&

That's during the free trial period. The higher rates remain once people are paid subscribers.

I hope everyone realizes that withholding 1989 was about a windowing strategy to maximize overall revenue from iTunes downloads/CD sales. Now they've essentially called her bluff and she'll have to cut that short when her mus

They aren't giving away their product, they're getting higher royalties overall. Your argument makes sense only if every single artist is going to be releasing a new album during this 3 month trial period, and that everyone that s

by IBM 11y ago
I'm not sure what difference it makes that they don't have labels? The deal is the same for everyone, you get higher royalties overall in exchange for the 3 month free trial.

by IBM 11y ago
The case for the latter is extremely strong despite how you've framed it. Apple Music will overnight be on an install base of 700-800 million iOS devices plus Macs (and available on Android and on iTunes on Windows). That combined with

And a 3 month free trial is a hilariously short period of time they won't be getting paid in the grand scheme of things. Aside from our characterizations of what is "hilariously small", the fact is that the major labels saw t

What's disingenuous about it? If Apple said that they'd pay during the free-trial but went back to the same industry standard rates would any of these artists still be complaining? I don't think so, they stand to benefit more

Apple made their response to this a few days ago in this Recode article. http://recode.net/2015/06/15/heres-what-happens-to-your-10-a... >Apple won’t pay music owners anything for the songs that are stream

This letter and other bleating from labels is just about trying to get a better negotiating position. What this letter doesn't mention is that Apple is offering a higher cut on an ongoing basis in exchange for the 3 month free trial. &

It'd be great to see what their actual IRRs are if they did that.
