Apple Music is paying 0.2¢ per stream (72%) during the trial AND after, while Apple retains 0.078¢ of each stream (28%) , yet the Anti-Apple hate Brigade are still complaining! That is what they were going to compensate the indies both before and AFTER the change in the contract terms precipitated by Taylor Swift's complaints of last weekend. . . which just changed the timing of WHEN they were going to get paid that amount! — PING!

Sorry but you keep claiming such but everyone including Cue sez the opposite.

Cue: We've been hearing a lot of concern from indie artists about not getting paid during the three-month trial period, which was never our intent. We never looked at it as not paying them. We had originally negotiated these deals based on paying them a higher royalty rate on an ongoing basis to compensate for this brief time. But when I woke up this morning and saw what Taylor had written, it really solidified that we needed to make a change. And so that's why we decided we will now pay artists during the trial period and we'll also keep the royalty rate at the higher rate.
