How I see this is. If the record company produced the songs, hired ppl to mix it, back ground music etc, hired writers - the the artist is simply a lending voice. Just like an actor acts a role but the production of a movie and the script is made by someone else, the actor wouldn’t then have ownership of the movie now? Same thing for most singer artists, they are just the voice. In Taylor’s case she wrote her songs but other stuff was the records doing thus she only had certain ownership of certain things.

tbf she wasn't the only creative mind behind her projects, many people were involved to make them happen, and without the company's producers, those albums wouldn't have seen the light of the day. It's not a matter of deserving or not, but a matter of legal property. The biggest catch here is that Scott did not give her the chance to purchase those rights, which wouldn't have sparked this chain of events, but I'm glad she's taking matters into her own hands.

I also didn’t see Scott B*rchetta or Sc***er Braun in the studio, writing lyrics or having anything to do with the song/album itself. Taylor should be allowed to own *her* work, because she achieved everything herself.

@msdenise1234567 3 года назад

She was given the opportunity to buy her masters, but it was on a make-a-new-one get-an-old-one-back basis (including all artwork etc.) and she did not say yes to that (OBVIOUSLY), then suddenly mr 300m dollar (who used to bully her) bought it without her knowing it, that's I think what missed in this video. They maybe could have worked it out if these men weren't out for the money and had any appreciation for art left in their body. I really appreciate JoJo being included in this video. She's often overlooked in the topic of rights feuds and re-recordings. I love how Taylor is taking it to a whole 'nother level, adding songs, including some extra artists. You go gurl! Can't wait for her to own her work.

@princesshaku6052 3 года назад

"what does she stand to gain" but also let's talk about what it costs her. It takes a year of promo, recording, and funding for album releases that won't make her as much money as new albums. this isn't for fun, or a money grab. shes losing time and money by doing this, but it's a sacrifice she will take to own her music.

@princesshaku6052 3 года назад

She doesn't even need money at this point. She's rercording for her own rights and also for her fans. Fearless her version is #1 on Spotify already. She's going to be earning money by releasing these albums too. She's already so rich so this isn't really a risk if she's going to be dropping albums her version every few months. I'm sure she has a plan and she doesn't need to keep releasing albums, she released two last year. She deserves a break to rerecord music she wrote that was sold off out of the blue. She's popular and rich enough, this is a pretty good move I think.

@@amartyaprakash897 I think there needs to be a balance between making music accessible to everyone and still paying artists. She along with artists like Beyoncé and Adele removed their catalogues from streaming because they wanted fair compensation for smaller artists. While of course she’s also fighting to get paid herself, that’s fair. She makes quality music that people care about, so she uses it as leverage against corporations taking away artists ownership or compensation. That’s a noble cause.

@iansubito4899 3 года назад

I don't like how you used "she just" cause it sounds a bit downgrading. But I don't know, maybe that's just how you see it. Anyways, even if 40% or 60% will prefer her old catalog, does not change anything, she achieved her goal and did all of these for herself and her fans. Not to mention also for her family because behind the scenes, we knew her parents have confronted the issue over years a man who they disagree with wanting to buy her. Yes, buy her as he has put out on his Instagram story on the day the news broke out of his successful purchase.
