The U.S. pop star Taylor Swift has [removed / removal] her best-selling album '1989' from Apple Music. The 25-year-old singer-songwriter said she [disagreement / disagrees] with the way Apple is [giving / given] her music away for free. Apple Music is Apple's [new / news] music streaming service that starts on June 30th. Anyone can sign [down / up] for a free trial and get the first three months without [paid / paying] . Swift says this is wrong and that Apple should [pay / paid] artists for these three months. After the [initially / initial] trial period, subscribers will pay a [month / monthly] fee of $9.99. She wrote an open letter suggesting 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 music for [no / not] compensation."

Swift further outlined her [critics / criticism] of Apple Music in her letter. She wrote: "I'm not sure you know that Apple Music will not be paying writers, producers, or artists for [those / them] three months." She [addition / added] that it was very unlike Apple to be [such / so] "unfair," saying: "I find it to be shocking, [disappointing / disappointed] , and completely unlike this historically progressive and [generals / generous] company." She told people that Apple had the money to pay artists [for / from] the three months. She said: "We know [how / now] astronomically successful Apple has been and we know that this incredible company has the money [for / to] pay artists….Three months is a long time to go unpaid, and it is unfair to ask anyone to work for [nothing / something] ."
