Quotation of the Day for August 5, 2015
"I asked Apple Music to explain the calculation of royalties for the trial period. They said they disclosed that only to copyright owners (that is, the labels). I have my own label and own the copyright on some of my albums, but when I turned to my distributor, the response was, "You can't see the deal, but you could have your lawyer call our lawyer and we might answer some questions.""
- David Byrne, musician, from his essay "Open the Music Industry's Black Box."
