This article is about the recent removal of Taylor swifts music on the mobile streaming app spotify. This happened as Taylor swift and her record label weren't happy with free streaming at the star where people could listen to her music for free for a whole month. Taylor Swift doesn't like this idea and removed all her music on spotify.
- Spotify has paid 2bn dollars to the music record labels
- spotify has 50 million active users that stream their music.
- 13 million of them subscribers paying a monthly fee
- 80 per cent of their subscribers started of with the free trial.
I'm stuck in the middle of this as I have valid opinions for this current situation. One side is that supporters of the musician should buy the singers album and all the songs to support them if they didn't they wouldn't be a music industry as people download songs and musicians charge a massive fee for tours. However I think SPotify is a great service and most users will end up staying on their and this is money lost for Taylor Swifts record label and herself.
