and yes, paying artists during the 90 day trial period may be 'NEWS' but it's a rounding error for Apple.
And the amount to be paid remains unsettled as artists were to be paid a 'percentage' of Apple's revenue after the 90 day trial period, not per play.
Interesting side note, even on other streaming services that offer free 30 day introductory trials, the artists were not paid for that usage.
Will this force Spotify, TIDAL, DEEZER, etc. to pay artists during their free trials? What about the discounted cut that Spotify pays artists for ad sponsored streaming?
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
