The flaw there, however, is that Apple was asking those artists to make a leap of faith in the hopes of more followers and money in the future - but many small artists live essentially paycheck to paycheck, and they can’t stomach a quarter of reduced payouts. The counterargument, meanwhile, holds that the free trial could bring lots of free publicity to those same lesser-heard artists.
Swift felt it unfair for Apple to use artists, especially up-and-coming ones, to grow its new service without compensating them for it. I find it to be shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company. I’m not sure you know that Apple Music will not be paying writers, producers, or artists for those three months. I’m sure you are aware that Apple Music will be offering a free 3 month trial to anyone who signs up for the service.
