Recently, Taylor Swift wrote her opinion about streaming services on her tumblr page, because Apple music were going to sale some musicians' songs for free. <http://taylorswift.tumblr.com/post/122071902085/to-apple-love-taylor> "To apple, Love Taylor" Web, July 13th, 2015       She told about this issue that "This is about the new artist or band that has just released their first single and will not be paid for its success. This is about the young songwriter who just got his or her first cut and thought that the royalties from that would get them out of debt." She mention and care about newcomer artists. After I read this article, I thought streaming services are really good to get known by more people, because people who often listen to music using streaming services want to get latest music information as soon as possible.
