Apple's launch of its new Spotify rival, Apple Music, could leave Britain’s independent record labels “completely screwed” and struggling to survive. The Silicon Valley giant is demanding that record labels such as XL Recordings, the home of Adele, and Domino, the label behind the Arctic Monkeys, agree to a free three-month trial of Apple Music, during which they will receive no payment.The plan, only disclosed since the service was unveiled, has caused dismay among British labels.
