The latest album of the musician who released a music video using “iHead” that seems to be a joke of Apple’s Vision Pro has been suspended only on Apple Music. Apple has proposed that it will be distributed if the song in question is deleted, but the musician has refused this proposal and is requesting that all songs be distributed. ■ Points of this article that can be understood in 3 lines 1. Tim Arnold’s latest album has been suspended from distribution on Apple Music. 2. The cause is a video featuring a fictitious product “iHead” and a fictitious advertisement. 3. Apple suggested deleting the song in question, but the artist refused and demanded distribution of all songs. “iHead”, which was produced four years before the announcement of Vision Pro, is a problem Apple Music has stopped the release of Tim Arnold’s latest album “Super Connected” because three iPhones are installed The music video for “Start With The Sound,” in which the headset “iHead” appears, and “A Commercial Break,” a parody advertisement for “iHead” inserted in the middle of the album. ‘A Commercial Break’ in the form of ‘iHead’ in the ‘Start With The Sound’ music video has been judged to be ‘fake ‘ and the release of the latest album has been suspended on Apple Music. According to Arnold, “iHead” and “A Commercial Break” were produced four years ago in 2019, and he was very surprised when Apple announced Vision Pro three weeks after the album “Super Connected” was released. . All songs of “Super Connected” are available on music distribution services such as Spotify and YouTube Music. Apple “delete the song in question and release it”, artist rejected that’s right. However, Arnold counters that Apple has published many songs on Apple Music, including parodies of advertisements. According to Arnold’s aggregator (distribution intermediary), Apple has offered a condition that the album will be released if the song in question is excluded. On the other hand, Mr. Arnold said, “This song is the key to the album concept,” and is not going to withdraw. Publishing a letter addressed to Apple Mr. Arnold has posted an open letter on the web asking Apple to withdraw the suspension of the publication of the work, asking him to withdraw the suspension. In addition to Mr. Arnold, musicians and actors are listed in the open letter. He said, “I don’t think there are people who listen to this parody ad and believe that a product called iHead really exists,” criticizing Apple for not trying to understand the humor. Apple Parody Allowed, Apple Parody Not Allowed? Arnold also warned that cracking down on such parodies would encourage artists to follow streaming company policies and lead to streaming companies controlling and censoring their art. ringing. Mr. Arnold praised the advertisement that expressed the original Macintosh as a parody of the movie “1984” as his favorite work that inspired him, but points out that it is “ironical.” Tech giants are allowed to parody artists, but aren’t artists allowed to parody giant corporations? He is asking Apple to reconsider the suspension of the release of the album. Here are the two songs in question Here is the music video for the album’s opening song, “Start with the Sound,” featuring the iHead, a headset with mind control functionality. And the parody advertisement “A Commerical Break” that flows in the middle of the album containing all 12 songs is voiced by popular British actor Stephen Fry. I was surprised that “iHead” was produced four years ago. I was surprised to find out that the album was released about three weeks ago. Personally, it seems that Apple is overreacting to “fake ads”, considering that the entire album is available on streaming services other than Apple Music. By the way, speaking of an open letter criticizing Apple from musicians, in 2015 when the Apple Music service was launched, Taylor Swift criticized the policy of not paying royalties played during Apple Music’s free trial period. published a message to After that, Apple changed its policy and settled with Mr. Swift, and Mr. Swift has appeared in Apple Music advertisements many times. I hope that the Tim Arnold case will also come to an amicable conclusion. Source: Tim Arnold/Medium via 9to5Mac(hato)
