<article> <section class="page"> <p> Now we know why those negotiations between Apple and the record labels went until the 11th hour (http://www.macworld.com/article/2918979/despite-lacking-music-rights-beats-music-is-expected-to-relaunch-at-wwdc.html) before Apple Music’s big unveiling at WWDC last week.</p><p> According to Re/code (http://recode.net/2015/06/15/heres-what-happens-to-your-10-after-you-pay-for-a-month-of-apple-music/), Apple has negotiated not to pay record labels for streaming their catalogs during the three-month free trial Apple Music is offering all new customers. After the three months, an Apple Music subscription will cost $10 a month, and record labels will receive about 71.5 percent of the U.S. revenue. Outside the U.S., Apple Music will pay out a slightly higher figure: 73 percent, although that’s likely to fluctuate.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2936054/apple-music-wont-pay-record-labels-for-3-month-free-trials.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Apple Music won't pay record labels for 3-month free trials (http://www.macworld.com/article/2936054/apple-music-wont-pay-record-labels-for-3-month-free-trials.html#tk.rss_all) |
