Morphine Prince 106,175 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Chicago law firm Edelson PC has filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of Justin Baker-Rhett, who accuses Tidal of using the promise of West's exclusive album as a way to boost membership—which is exactly what it did. It is unclear who at Tidal, including Shawn Carter (Jay Z), knew West would make the decision to fully release the album. On Feb. 15, West said on Twitter that his album "will never never never be on Apple... You can only get it on Tidal." On April 1, he suddenly offered it up everywhere, including Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play and even SoundCloud. As Yahoo Finance wrote when West released the album on other platforms, his decision was the dark cloud in an otherwise big week of positive news for Tidal: The company shared subscription numbers, revealing that it had reached 3 million paying subscribers; it said 45% of them (about 1.4 million) pay for the higher-price $20-per-month “HiFi” version of the service; and it signed on four new artist equity owners. But West putting his album on other platforms ruined Tidal's good week, and would likely enrage anyone who had signed up for Tidal specifically because it had the West album exclusively. Baker-Rhett's $5 million lawsuit invites other angry subscribers to join, and names S. Carter Enterprises (Jay Z's holding company) and West as the defendants, known together as Tidal for the purposes of the suit. The firm, Edelson, has filed class actions against other (much bigger) tech companies before, including Facebook (FB) and Twitter (TWTR).
