Lily Allen Thinks Jay Z's Tidal Streaming Service Will Increase Traffic to Pirating Sites, Hurt Indie Artists

Allen's doubts about Tidal surface from the impact that the high price point could have on emerging artists, which she voiced on Twitter.

Allen also seemed to think that the problems with artist revenue in the music industry start at the record labels instead of at the consumer, and she offered a few alternatives to the Jay Zs of the world.

After she felt her words were misconstrued, Allen clarified that she thinks the idea of hosting exclusive content on a paid platform is a valiant idea, but the vague nature of Tidal's payment plan to artists and its influence on rising musicians has her hesitant.
