Yanko 9,860 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 During Apple Music's launch announcement, presenters touted a generous three month free trial period for its new streaming music service. But when it launches on June 30th, artists, labels and other rights holders will not receive any compensation for the billions of songs streamed by the millions likely to take advantage of Apple's three free months.http://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2015/06/apple-music-to-offer-free-3-month-trial-artists-and-labels-to-be-paid-nothing.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 98,108 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 They took FOREVER to make deals with the labels, maybe that's why. If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPokeHerFace 2,564 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Well it makes sense from a business standpoint. If they gave artists royalties when Apple themselves weren't making a profit, then they would have to spend the time after those 3 months to climb out of a hole of negative profit instead of starting to profit immediately after the 3 months are up.In business, you don't always (or in most cases ever) immediately turn a profit.

GagaMyBlood95 9,915 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Idk, everyone gets a free trial for the first three months so I guess Apple doesn't want to pay until they get paid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAstroLeo 14,432 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I doubt it. I'm almost sure the first 3 months will be coming out of Apple's pockets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creyk 17,822 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 No worries. Gaga is not likely to release anything in the next 3 months so homegirl will still get ha coins when the time comes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
