Taylor a hero or a hypocrite?

LOS ANGELES: Taylor Swift may currently be basking in the glory of being the artist who took on Apple and won, but to a group of photographers, she’s nothing but a hypocrite.
Less than 24 hours after Swift slammed Apple for its plan to not pay artists for music their customers listened to during free three-month trials of Apple Music, the company reversed course and said it would pay for the music. A UK photographer named Jason Sheldon penned an open letter of his own — to Swift.
His gripe?
According to a contract from 2011 posted on his website, Swift’s management company, Firefly Entertainment, demands that photographers who shoot Swift’s concerts to do so on a “one-time-use” only basis.
If photographers refuse to comply, Firefly has the right to destroy their film and kick them out.
Sheldon wrote: “Now.. forgive me if I’m wrong, but if you take points 2 and 3 in that contract ... it appears to be a complete rights grab, and demands that you are granted free and unlimited use of our work, worldwide, in perpetuity. You say in your letter to Apple that ‘Three months is a long time to go unpaid’. But you seem happy to restrict us to being paid once, and never being able to earn from our work ever again, while granting you the rights to exploit our work for your benefit for all eternity. ...”
“How are you any different to Apple?” he asked.
Another photographer, Joel Goodman, tweeted a more recent and even more restrictive Firefly contract from Swift’s current 1989 World Tour.
Swift, who was quick to tweet her moral and financial victory over Apple, however, did not respond to Goodman.
