This is ridiculous and pretty much abusing the trial as theft.
You're actually affecting artists, song writers and producers of each song you listen to. In the long run this not only affects Apple's ability to lower the monthly fee to be more competitive yet you're also affecting the artists and creators pay from never being increasing from $.57 approximately for each stream to never increase.
if you want free music that still pays the artist just stream off a radio channel and stop abusing the system.
Dolly Parton is a smart cookie ... she KNEW exactly how to get global attention - not just from men but also from woman whom aspired to be glamorous when she 'augmented herself' and played to the fantasy of so many men. She had the foresight to know that it wasn't a temporary look as well and that most country music female listeners back decades ago presumable seemed ... docile/subdued in their look to not attract too much attention.
Her music is the complete opposite of her famous "look" it's a persona. The duets she had with Kenny Rogers - really showed respectful collaboration and a friendship and STILL sold millions and delighted so many BEYOND your die-hard country music listener.
Heck even I know their songs - either from radio play or music or commercials back in the early 80's. Strange that I've never questioned nor thought she was just her look or thought of her as a bimbo - yet I definitely got that from so many other female artists of the 80s I could care less about.
That was my recollection as well. Newbies better jump on this deal while they can. It may not come around again.
I tried it couple of times and I don’t agree. Actually I can easily prove that. You can read it yourself under the “Cancel Free Trial” link.
Services which were paid and then cancelled obviously work until the last day of the prepaid date.

The party that pays for cheating is the victim. It doesn’t matter if that party has a lot of money. Cheating is cheating. In general, it is expected, and pricing takes this into account — so we all pay.
So when you call it a victimless crime, what you mean is that all crimes have victims, you just don‘t think they all deserve equal protections.
So when you say that I called it a “victimless crime”, what you mean is you’ve ignored the actual wording of what I said and have chosen to just make whatever fatuous point it is you want to make.
