[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They’re both copying a zillion other artists who have done the same type of movies.

Concert films have existed for decades. That's not what people are talking about. Taylor film bypassed the studios. [b]Her team produced it and made a direct deal with AMC Theaters rather than using a studio for distribution, thus retaining a higher percentage of the take.[/b] Beyonce's team did the same thing.

THAT was the innovation.[/quote]
Well that’s an even dumber point then. You think a non-lawyer is “structuring AMC deals?” How does that translate to Beyonce, the individual, copying Taylor, the individual?[/quote]

Did I say either artist negotiated it? I specifically referred to their teams and didn't credit them personally. Reading is not your strong suit, I see.[/quote]

So gallant of the billionaire taking a higher percentage of her fans money.  Always thinking of her fans that Taylor Swift.  She is a role model for all young women!  [/quote]

No, it's more like thinking of how middle men taking cuts of the creative work of others is taking money from the actual artists. And Beyonce agrees with her, btw. They are both role models, because they are both aware that owning their own work is important. [/quote]

See here is what her fans are failing to understand: Taylor is no longer David, she is Goliath. She IS the evil corporation taking all the money. She is a billionaire. She has amassed money for her. She is lord business with a few catchy songs. [/quote]

What? So she is taking the money that she earned. The horror!! How DARE she not turn it over to Scooter Braun or the private equity group that purchased her catalog. How DARE Beyonce start her own record label, so she can own a greater piece of the pie? I mean, if we are doing the comparison thing, you do realize that Beyonce is more of a corporation here, right? She actually founded Parkwood Entertainment. And GOOD FOR HER![/]

Geez. They are both millionaires/billionaires with lots of business people to run their millions. Taylor changing the pricing structure of her movie tickets is just one corporation manipulating another. It isn’t a commentary of feminism or a small company or woman getting power over a big bad movie company. Taylor’s revenues and career comeback depend on people believing that she fighting for women’s/anti corporation rights. In reality she is just another (albeit well branded) corporation fighting for your money. That is why she fought to make her own movie/structure the deal that way. Why does she need more of her fans money when she is a billionaire? 
To be clear I’m not saying Beyoncé isn’t greedy as well, but her fans aren’t as deluded as Taylor’s. [/quote]
