I know. People have no clue how terrible the industry is is for artists and how BIG this is. Even Paul McCartney doesn't own his music and neither did Prince (remember the name change?) |
A lot of artists write their own songs. Most rappers. Yet they get screwed out of their masters. I’ve never heard of any one else this Swift scam. Because it’s fake. Please cite one example of someone else being allowed to usurp the loss of their masters by re-recording songs they wrote. |
Same! |
He’s a junkie get over it |
He has his vices but I do think artistically, emotionally, intelligence wise, his quick witted style suits her to a T. |
Every time they perform their songs in a concert that is recorded they are doing that. |
Ok, correcting myself before someone else does. Some artists do have contractual prohibition from re-recording masters for a certain period of time. This article gives a few examples at the end of artists who have done this. https://www.insidehook.com/music/other-artists-rerecording-their-music |
Sometimes the level of stupidity on this site is staggering. |
I listened to all of her music for free on YouTube. |
So much wrong but said with such conviction. Almost impressive. |
DP but I just hate billionaires who are taking over with a mediocre product. Taylor happens to be one of them. Her fans were kind of fleeced over this whole thing. She and her Dad are the very business upper class people they are wanting you to hate. They bill themselves as little fish taking over the music industry, but is a financial bro taking over the music industry really something to get excited about? He just knew to use his daughter as a front woman. |
They did not have the mega money to record. Do you know how much work, effort, capital it is to hire the musicians, the recording space that has the best equipment, to get them all together - editing, producing? Weeks of work, long hours, trying to get new, good cuts. And in this case, trying to sound almost exactly like the old ones (extremely difficult) but also increase the production value. She paid for it herself this time. These other artists you mention first of all, didn’t have the money to do it, would have spent all their earned money. And, would have had little support in doing something no one has done. She had the support, the money to buy support. |

The only reason she was able to buy back her masters is because she greatly devalued them by re-recording Taylor’s version which her fans overwhelmingly chose to download and stream making the masters a lot less valuable - and clearly she made a crap ton of money with the most profitable and biggest global tour ever.
It’s not a scam and no one is holding a gun to people’s head, forcing them to buy albums. |
Def Leppard tried re-recording, but how many stars are big enough to make it effective. In truth, Swift had little support from people in the industry. They thought she was insane, but she proved them wrong. |
| Interesting how her shills show up to bury the fact this was a scam on her fans. Cult leader cooked up a shameless scam to get you saps to re buy her songs and albums you already all owned and feel like you were supporting her. |
