New to the music streaming world is Tidal, it's USP? Exclusive music and videos before anyone else. Recently bought by Jay-z and originally named WiMP this streaming website is set to be the next big thing in music however at 20 USD I wonder whether it really is worth it? I thought I would look in to the site however you're not able to necessarily get a tester of the website unless you actually sign up for a trial which means putting in your card details as well. I think a lot of this is all due to artists wanting money they're not wanting to you to be able to listen to music for free with the likes of Youtube and Spotify. But what with Spotify under fire of its free service there is talk that they may remove this however I think their reasoning for having it free is a good reason. They claim that people that originally used the free service did go straight on to a paid service after using it for a while I am one of those users and it is the best 10 pound I spend a month.
With all these streaming services under a attack as well as talk of Youtube actually changing their free streaming to a paid music service I think this will have a bigger backlash on artists and labels with people going more towards using piracy websites to download their music.
