Apple changes tune on royalties after Taylor Swift complains

"When I woke up this morning and I saw Taylor's note that she had written, it really solidified that we needed to make a change," said Apple senior vice president Eddy Cue in an interview with The Associated Press.

While praising Apple for developing a paid music service that will compensate artists, she added, "We know that this incredible company has the money to pay artists, writers and producers for the 3 month trial period."
