baronn 111 #1 June 22, 2015 Few people on the planet have the clout to tell the world's largest (by market cap) company to sit and spin but, Taylor Swift proved she does. Steve Jobs started Itunes by convincing the artists it was in their interest to offer music with Apple by sharing royalties with them. New management has decided to change that policy. She showed them. Nice to see someone standing up for herself and the other artists as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #2 June 22, 2015 Good for her! Wasn't it Prince who sued Youtube to take all his music videos off of there? I think that was a bit overzealous IMO."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baronn 111 #3 June 22, 2015 He did. Of course anyone who considers himself a symbol is kinda questionable. I like them both. very different circumstances here. Youtube is a free service and has always been. Apple offered their music downloads for free to the customers but, they really weren't doing that. The were making the artists PROVIDE it for free thru their service. seems like a lot to ask especially when they are sitting on 20 Billion in cash. Squeezing the providers of your content is not only immoral but, they found out, it's bad business. This chick keeps on proving how sharp she really is........

ryoder 1,400 #4 June 22, 2015 Interesting article on the topic, especially when it points out the difference in Spotify's response to her last year, in contrast to Apple's response to her: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/06/22/apple_taylor_swift/"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

format 0 #5 June 22, 2015 BillyVance Wasn't it Prince who sued Youtube to take all his music videos off of there? I think that was a bit overzealous IMO. I appreciate his influence. By his denying of youtube sharing - I don't have any special trouble getting to get his work.. So, it's gotta be they wanted to lick him from behind What goes around, comes later.
