The music industry and musicians are turning on streaming music for free. Tidal, the music-streaming service headed by Jay-z, will have listeners pay a monthly fee for the music on their channel. This is a change in the industry considering most music-streaming services like Spotify are free to use. The music industry wants Tidal to work because musicians aren't being paid well on Spotify and others. In fact, some musicians like Taylor Swift will not allow their music to be streaming on the services. According to CNet, This idea of music-streaming services comes from the late 90s when Napster and other torrent sites allowed free downloading of music. This has lost the music industry millions in revenue and executives and artists are not going to take it anymore. "more than 80 percent of [Spotify's] subscribers started as free users." Spotify's CEO Daniel Ek said, trying to appease the music industry. However, it maybe too, little too.
