YouTube 'built on the back of stolen content' claims Trent Reznor

The Daily Mail reports:

Nine Inch Nails' frontman and Apple Music's chief creative officer Trent Reznor has launched a scathing attack on YouTube and Spotify.

In an interview with Billboard he said 'I find YouTube's business to be very disingenuous.

'It is built on the backs of free, stolen content and that's how they got that big.'

He also hits out at other services, including Spotify, saying 'I think any free-tiered service is not fair.

'It's making their numbers and getting them a big IPO and it is built on the back of my work and that of my peers.

'That's how I feel about it. Strongly.'

He said he decided to join Apple to improve the situation.

'We’re trying to build a platform that provides an alternative - where you can get paid and an artist can control where their [content] goes. '

The struggle to defend a copyright. You luck with that one.
