The pop star Taylor Swift has removed her album '1989' from Apple Music. The singer disagrees with how Apple is giving her music away for free. Apple Music is a new music service. It starts on June 30th. Anyone can sign up for a trial and get the first three months for free. Swift says this is wrong. She said Apple should pay artists for these three months. After the trial period, there will be a monthly fee of $9.99. Swift suggested 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______for free."            

Swift criticized Apple Music in a letter. She wrote: "Apple Music will not be paying writers, producers, or artists for those three months." She added that Apple was being "unfair". She said: "I find it to be shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company." She also said Apple had the money to pay artists, saying: "We know how…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."
