Music royalty made a stand for music royalties, and they both came out winners (and so did Apple). On Sunday, Taylor Swift penned an open letter — Dear Apple, Love Taylor — in which she explained that she wouldn’t be streaming her latest album on the company’s upcoming music service because artists would not be getting royalties during the three month trial period. Within a few hours, Apple’s Eddy Cue tweeted that the company had heard Taylor, and just like that, the policy had been changed. (I hear Swift is now working on letters to ISIS and the Kardashians.)
