(Reuters) – Apple Inc's new music streaming service has been endorsed by the Worldwide Independent Network, an association for independent musicians, two days after the company reversed its decision of not paying musicians during a three-month trial. The endorsement follows a Billboard magazine report that independent music rights holders Beggars Group and Merlin Network signed royalty deals with Apple. The iPhone maker flipped its decision on Monday following pop star Taylor Swift's move to hold back her latest hit album "1989" from the streaming service.
