Originally shared by Miguel Afonso Caetano#Music #Streaming #Spotify: "Last year, Taylor Swift pulled her entire catalog from Spotify because the streaming service wouldn’t bend on a core principle: all artists on the platform must make their music available to Spotify’s free users and its paying subscribers.
Now, the service is caving in, according to people familiar with the matter.
In private talks, Spotify has told music executives that it is considering allowing some artists to start releasing albums only to its 20 million-plus subscribers, who pay $10 a month, while withholding the music temporarily from the company’s 80 million free users."
