Apple will pay artists and labels 0.2 cents for each song that streamed during the Apple Music free trial, reports the New York Times.Just days ago, Apple had determined to have artists and labels foot the bill for the three month free trial of its music streaming service; however, after an outcry from independent labels and Taylor Swift, the company changed its policy.For each song that is streamed free, Apple will pay 0.2 cent for the use of recordings, a rate that music executives said was roughly comparable to the free tiers from services like Spotify. This rate does not include a smaller payment for songwriting rights that goes to music publishers; Apple is still negotiating with many publishers over those terms, several publishing companies confirmed on Wednesday.Share Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Email, Reddit, Digg, Delicious, StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTubeAdvertise Here
