Madonna, Dead5Amu, Kanye West, Jay Z and J Cole (also known as
Hollywood's self-professed "Illuminati")
People who joined Tidal, the
failed music streaming service started by greedy rapper Jay
Z and even more greedy pop singer, Madonna, were charged
$19.99 after closing their accounts, in acts that constitute
fraud. Complaints began to surface from angry former Tidal
users, who left the site unhappy with the music service,
claiming they closed their accounts, but Tidal greedily kept
charged them anyway. A wave of public embarrassment via bad
publicity forced Tidal to refund the former users' money,
after charging them for services they did not receive nor
want anymore. Tidal admitted the scam and now states they
have refunded customers' money.

It pays to note Madonna has
worked for Warner Bros/Time Warner for most of her career
and is still with the film branch of the company. Tidal
engaged in a crooked tactic used by Time Warner (Warner
Bros) in repeatedly charging AOL customers $19.99 per month,
for months and sometimes years after they leave the service
In some instances, former customers were forced to get new
bank cards to stop AOL from charging their accounts.
However, AOL simply obtained the direct bank account number
and began fraudulently charging the public again for
services they were not receiving anymore. The company made
millions of dollars engaging in this criminal fraud at the
American people's expense that Congress should have
addressed.

Tidal charged ex-subscribers and re-activated accounts (update)
01.18.16 - One of Jay Z's 99 problems seems
to be billing errors. if you gave Tidal a shot and have
since cancelled, you likely noticed you were charged for the
service in the last day or so. You're not alone. The Verge's
Chris Welch was charged $20 by the streaming service, the
price of its Premium or hi-fi tier. As if the bogus charge
wasn't enough, Tidal offered those affected by the error
three months of Tidal Premium in addition to a refund. This
means that accounts that were closed have now been
re-activated...
Even still, the company thought gifting a
free subscription to a service people no longer wanted in
the first place would make up for charging you when it
shouldn't have. By doing so, it restarted closed accounts.
Maybe just issue a refund and call it a day next time, eh?
Update: Tidal provided the following statement:
"Rest assured, we've already refunded any
charges. Accounts haven't been renewed, but we have offered
a 3 month complimentary trial of the premium service on top
of the refund as an apology that will not be auto renewed
upon completion."
