VIDEO : Indie Label Beggars Group Expresses Apple Music Concerns

While Apple Music sealed deals with the three major record labels prior to announcing their splashy new streaming service/24-hour radio network, many independent labels have been reluctant to align themselves with Apple's upcoming service. Beggars Group, which boasts labels like Matador, XL Recordings, 4AD and others under its umbrella, is one such major indie to hold off from signing with Apple Music, as they explain in a statement titled "With regards to Apple Music?" Beggars Group, like many of the unsigned independent labels, are especially apprehensive about Apple Music's three-month free preview offer to users, a period in which artists will not be compensated for what is streamed on the service.??
