Battle 4 Ur Life 5,823 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 YAS, in your face Apple Music! 6 hours ago, Azor Ahai said: It only encourages piracy anyway. People are not going to buy monthly subscription for an album. more like the opposite, isn't it? people are not going to buy monthly subscription for an album, that's why it's good to have it available in multiple formats and retailers. otherwise people will have no other choice besides resort to piracy. 1989 is the supreme example.

Vague 424 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Good. Those exclusives are stupid and benefit no one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenKookie 2,638 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 To know that PI and LG5 will be newly-eleased on Spotify is enough for me to not worry anymore and be happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless this backfires. This could lead to labels not putting their albums up for streaming at all (like 1989 before the apple exclusive) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, streaming is the perfect way to combat illegal downloads, so they won't be stupid enough to not release an album or song for streaming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, I just can't help but wonder if holding off on streaming for the first few months will actually help or not. It seemed to work well with 25, Beyonce (BEYONCE), and 1989. But maybe cause those artists are well established and in the good graces of the public eye. I personally think LG5 should be available on all major streaming sites but I wonder what path the record label will go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMonster 1,037 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Didn't care to begin with. Plan on buying Gaga album physically anyway (and digital from iTunes). Hopefully it's not available for any streaming for the first 6 - 12 months. Get those old school album sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boysboysboys 278 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 If this didn't happen imagine the kind of cajoling companies like Spotify will do. It will encourage corruption, destroy small-time musicians and increase requirements for original content. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0ne 13,105 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 But how can they ban it if some of their artists are already signed with Tidal or Apple Music. Arent those contracts that must be fulfilled? Otherwise it's a breach of contract if they don't deliver some form of exclusives, right? And Gaga is signed with Apple Music but hasn't delivered anything yet, so how would she be able to get out of the contract without upholding her end? "My people… need to let our bitchiness out.

HausOfNicole 177 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Good no need to monopolize an album with one service. You can pay Apple to promote an album to death on iTunes if that's the only concern, they don't have to have exclusive rights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She may be under contract to promote the brand with her album, which can be done without them having exclusive rights to the material. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bye 3,947 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 It would still make sense to only allow streaming for paying customers (Apple Music, Tidal, Google Play Music, Spotify Premium) and not allow streaming for free customers (basic Spotify).
