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(guó)流行音樂(lè)歌星泰勒·斯威夫特將其最佳暢銷專輯《1989》從蘋(píng)果音樂(lè)中撤下。這位25歲的唱作人稱她不同意在蘋(píng)果上獲得免費(fèi)播放權(quán)。蘋(píng)果音樂(lè)是蘋(píng)果在6月30日推出的全新流媒體服務(wù)平臺(tái)。任何人都可以注冊(cè)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(cuò)誤的，蘋(píng)果應(yīng)該賠付藝人這三個(gè)月的資金。試行期過(guò)后，訂閱者每個(gè)月將支付9.99美元。她寫(xiě)了一封公開(kāi)信，稱蘋(píng)果太貪婪了。她說(shuō)：“我們沒(méi)有向蘋(píng)果所要免費(fèi)蘋(píng)果手機(jī)。那么就請(qǐng)不要要求我們免費(fèi)提供音樂(lè)。”

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(duì)蘋(píng)果的批評(píng)。她寫(xiě)到：“我不能確定的是你們知不知道蘋(píng)果音樂(lè)不會(huì)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(píng)果是不公平的，稱：“這件事情竟然會(huì)發(fā)生在一個(gè)在歷史中做出過(guò)成就的大公司里，這讓我非常震驚，失望。她告訴人們說(shuō)蘋(píng)果能夠在這三個(gè)月里向藝術(shù)家支付資金。她說(shuō)：“我們知道蘋(píng)果是多么的成功，我們也知道這個(gè)不可思議的公司有錢(qián)支付給藝人。三個(gè)月的免費(fèi)是否太長(zhǎng)了。讓別人白干是不公平的。”
