The U.S. pop star Taylor Swift has removed her best-selling album '1989' from Apple Music. The 25-year-old singer-songwriter said she disagrees with the way Apple is giving her music away for free. Apple Music is Apple's new music streaming service that starts on June 30th. Anyone can sign up for a free trial and get the first three months without paying. Swift says this is wrong and that Apple should pay artists for these three months. After the initial trial period, subscribers will pay a monthly fee of $9.99. She wrote an open letter suggesting that Apple was being greedy. She said: "We don't ask [Apple] for free iPhones. Please don't ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation."

美國流行音樂歌星泰勒·斯威夫特將其最佳暢銷專輯《1989》從蘋果音樂中撤下。這位25歲的唱作人稱她不同意在蘋果上獲得免費(fèi)播放權(quán)。蘋果音樂是蘋果在6月30日推出的全新流媒體服務(wù)平臺。任何人都可以注冊并進(jìn)行免費(fèi)試用，并在前三個(gè)月免費(fèi)使用。斯威夫特稱這是錯誤的，蘋果應(yīng)該賠付藝人這三個(gè)月的資金。試行期過后，訂閱者每個(gè)月將支付9.99美元。她寫了一封公開信，稱蘋果太貪婪了。她說：“我們沒有向蘋果所要免費(fèi)蘋果手機(jī)。那么就請不要要求我們免費(fèi)提供音樂。”

Swift further outlined her criticism of Apple Music in her letter. She wrote: "I'm not sure you know that Apple Music will not be paying writers, producers, or artists for those three months." She added that it was very unlike Apple to be so "unfair," saying: "I find it to be shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company." She told people that Apple had the money to pay artists for the three months. She said: "We know how astronomically successful Apple has been and we know that this incredible company has the money to pay artists….Three months is a long time to go unpaid, and it is unfair to ask anyone to work for nothing."

斯威夫特進(jìn)一步在其信中闡明了對蘋果的批評。她寫到：“我不能確定的是你們知不知道蘋果音樂不會在這三個(gè)月里向制作人、作家或是藝術(shù)家支付任何費(fèi)用。”她還認(rèn)為蘋果是不公平的，稱：“這件事情竟然會發(fā)生在一個(gè)在歷史中做出過成就的大公司里，這讓我非常震驚，失望。她告訴人們說蘋果能夠在這三個(gè)月里向藝術(shù)家支付資金。她說：“我們知道蘋果是多么的成功，我們也知道這個(gè)不可思議的公司有錢支付給藝人。三個(gè)月的免費(fèi)是否太長了。讓別人白干是不公平的。”
