Apple CEO Tim Cook alluded to more services coming this year, and this week we're learning more about what the company has in store for news. According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Apple has been in talks with publishers about a subscription news service that would be a new paid tier of its existing Apple News app. However, the company has been butting heads with publishers over monetary details—Apple reportedly wants to keep 50 percent of subscription revenue from the service.
[...] In addition, Apple wouldn't share customer data with publishers. Information including credit card numbers and email addresses would not be provided to publishers if they agreed to Apple's terms as they currently stand. That information can be crucial for publishers to grow their subscriber base, market new products to readers, and more.
Will news publishers take half of the subscription revenue and forego money from customer profiling and tracking?

If the Rapers start treating "big tech" more reasonably, and stop acting like it is everyone else's job to police the internet for their copyright infringement, maybe I would have more sympathy for them. They should stop acting like "big tech" is the enemy, stop acting like the internet should be turned into a broadcast medium. Stop hating on creative commons and stop thinking that nothing should be available without some sort of payment. Stop the false DMCA takedowns that are of content their own marketing agents put up on the internet for promotional purposes.
