HEARTHUNTER 7,611 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 "Taylor Swift is no stranger to speaking out against tech companies that she thinks don’t value artists by providing them royalties. In 2014, she famouslypulled all of her music from Spotify and instead made it available on Apple Music. “The value of an album is, and will continue to be, based on the amount of heart and soul an artist has bled into a body of work, and the financial value that artists (and their labels) place on their music when it goes out into the marketplace,” she said at the time. “Piracy, file sharing and streaming have shrunk the numbers of paid album sales drastically, and every artist has handled this blow differently.” Now, Swift is taking on another tech giant and ostensible streaming service—YouTube—along with a group of 180 performers who want the company to treat artists better."

HEARTHUNTER 7,611 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Boohooo. Really? I find it obnoxious from her and the other artists to demand for royalties when she's supposed to be one of the richest artists under 30. I feel like she forgets that the people who work for these companies and who work daily to make the platform support more and more videos, need to be paid as well I'm not surprised though.

JDi 1,495 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 the future of music is in touring and festivals, not streaming, so she needs to stop trying to disguise her greed as care and go record some good stadium music. no one's gonna pay for her dated tunes in 5 years.
