About Apple 3 free months. After that 3 months Apple will pay more than any other streaming service. I don´t see any problem.

Spotify keeps bringing in more and more subscribers - a considerable chunk of them paying for the service - Apple is coming with a big service, Tidal is big in it's inicial markets, YT is responsible for a lot of the streaming that stablished Mrs. Swift popularity...streaming services are a reality and they're here to stay - pretending not to see that is just silly. 

If anything, pulling your music away from those services just lead people to illegally download it, which keeps you from making money, getting those stream counts (which charts now consider) and reinforces the behavior of illegally downloading music in people's minds.

Taylor is going on this crusade now because she's in a great moment in her career, but moments like these are not sustainable for a long time, so eventually she'll come around. Not only because of that, but also because the more popular streaming services become, that more money they'll generate and the more compensation artists will get - so yes, one day she won't see Spotify's payment as pocket change anymore.

As for Gaga, her whole "support the artist" rants were more directed at the industry and at the ppl "behind the scenes"...I even remember she saying that music should be free, unless there's a physical support to justify what you're charging people - which makes sense, since nowadays it's pretty well known that artists make most of their money by touring, so the more your music get around, the more ppl are likely to buy your tickets. She also said on Howard Stern that getting new music was not special anymore, but it had nothing to do with ppl paying or not to hear her songs...

ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you.

This is the women who said she'd out an album for free if they'd let her, so no I'm not surprised. Then again she's gotten more materialistic and money loving since then so maybe I should be.

Because mamma is a heavily touring artist. She's big on her voice and talent to earn coins. I don't know really tbh. I think people would want to see her more than any other star and still not buy her music. She's all about the live act more I think.

If they're struggling that badly I doubt the miniscule amount of money from Apple Music would help much.

lol exactly. There's no loss with joining. It's only more of a platform for her music and she wouldn't have the money if she doesn't join anyway. She's being really over dramatic and it's so funny. She thinks she's being all safe but ugh.

Gaga's stance about "the artist" is not about money or getting paid more. It's about giving the artist power. There's a difference. Her main points were about letting artists create their music/visuals the way they want it to be, not the way record labels think will make them the most money. 

Understand now how supporting Apple music does not contradict her arguments about "giving power back to the artist?" If anything, streaming has opened me up to hundreds of new artists that I never would have discovered. I am going to a lot of small shows that I never would have even considered going to before. In a sense, it's the platform that many artists need to be discovered. 

In any case, Gaga's stance is primarily focused on the freedom of artistic expression, not monetary gain.

she is a true artist. the fact she doesnt mind that anyone can listen to her songs without her getting a penny speaks volumes. She truly wants her music to reach to her fans. No matter the platform or whether theyre paying for it or not, she knows the value of art is not defined by how much you spend on buying an album or a song. taylor is delusional and full of **** she disguises her GREED behind starving artists ew
