Indie Labels Say 3 Month Free Apple Music Trial Would Leave Them 'Completely Screwed'



Independent record labels in Britain are upset that Apple is trying to get them to agree to a three-month free trial of Apple Music during which time they would not get paid for any streamed music, reports The Telegraph.

The plan was only disclosed to indie labels following an unveiling of Apple Music at WWDC. Andy Heath, the chairman of UK Music, says the plan has caused dismay among British labels such as XL Recordings, the home of Adele, and Domino the label behind Arctic Monkeys.

Mr Heath told The Telegraph that to his knowledge no British independent labels have agreed to Apples terms or intend to on grounds they will literally put people out of business.
