IN response to mounting criticism of her decision to snub Apple Music, Taylor Swift posted a letter explaining her boycott Sunday.

    She writes Apple Music’s decision to not pay musicians any royalties for its three-month free trial period is “shocking, disappointing and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company.”

    She says her not being part of Apple Music isn’t just about her — it’s about protecting new artists “who will not be paid for its success,” she writes.

    She continues, “Three months is a long time to go unpaid, and it is unfair to ask anyone to work for nothing. I say this with love, reverence and admiration for everything else Apple has done. I hope that soon I can join them in the progression toward a streaming model that seems fair to those who create this music. I think this could be the platform that gets it right.”

    Earlier, it was reported that Swift had decided not to put her “1989” album on Apple Music, in response to the streaming service’s decision not to pay royalties during its three-month trial period.

    Less than 24 hours after Swift criticized Apple for not paying royalties to artists during the three-month free-trial period for its new Apple Music service, the company’s chief content czar signaled the policy has been reversed via Twitter.

    “Apple will always make sure that artists are paid,” tweeted Apple’s Eddy Cue on Sunday.(SD-Agencies)
