Taylor Swift and Apple
|
|
I notice that Taylor Swift has used her clout by threatening to withhold her album from Apple's streaming service to make them change their policy of not paying artists during a 3 month initial 'trial period' ( ie money making stealing period).
This obviously affects artists much poorer and smaller than her so good on her.
Questions .... Where were all the other major artists making a stand rather than cowering to Apple?
Why do Apple think it's acceptable not to pay artists for using their work for 3 months and why are they are allowed to back down without being pilloried as thieving cunts?

I saw Tracey Chapman perform. I was certainly not the only white person there. She's not a gangster rapper FFS.

People actually pay for downloads? You people are stuck in the dark age.
If you get yourself a ghetto blaster you can record the charts every sunday for free.

I'm sure it won't be long before her icloud pics are 'hacked' and we all see her with a cucumber stuck up her tradesman's

I have never seen a picture of her and don't know what her music sounds like. I'm clearly a misfit

Can't disagree with that. Had never heard of this Apple service before all this came out, or really paid any attention to this bird either.

One of the best joint marketing campaigns in modern times.
Hats off to Universal and Apple

You seriously think Apple would make a costly u-turn on a whim on a Sunday? Obviously a set up to make Apple look kind and flexible and make Swift look like a hero.

"Best gig I ever saw was Tracey Chapman at the Brixton Academy and I reckon I was the only white person there."
= "I was the only white person there and felt so out of place and uneasy, that I got pissed and tried to curry favour with the blacks by shaking their hands and telling them how immense the concert was. Over time, my mind has protected me from this embarrassment, to the extent that I now feel it is my duty to tell my mates that Tracey Chapman is the best live performer in history."
Of course, I'm no psychologist.

There is a great south park episode about illegally downloading songs from the internet.
It's called Christian Rock Hard
Season 7, Episode 9.
You can probably find it on a proxy torrent bay site.

I pay...mainly because I don't have the required patience to fuck about with a box that seems to work when it feels like it.
The thread on here seems to be full of people having grief with the equipment and not much else.
