4:59Now Playing"Apple will pay artists while its customers get its new Apple Music service for free.
Apple has come under fire from musicians recently, most notably from Taylor Swift, over concerns that it would not pay artists during a three-month free trial period it was offering its customers to sample its new streaming service. But it reversed course Sunday night, announcing the change via a tweet from Senior Vice President Eddy Cue.
Apple subsequently confirmed to BuzzFeed News that it will, in fact, be paying for the rights to stream music throughout the trial period
In an interview with BuzzFeed News, Cue, Apple’s media boss, said the company will pay artists on a per stream basis during the free three-month trial. Cue declined to say what the rate per stream might be. Afterwards, it will pay music owners 71.5% of Apple Music’s subscription revenue in the United States. Internationally, the number will fluctuate, but will average out at around 73%.” *
