[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a business transaction.  Why is she dredging up old crap?

Not enough drama in her life, I guess.  Plus she has a new album coming out.[/quote]
[b]Because either you agree or don’t agree that artists should be able to own their own, or at least part of their own, music /artistry.

Because she was never actually given the opportunity to own her own music.[/b]

Because nothing changes if nothing changes.

Because someone like Scooter Braun looks specifically for young, unknowns? Yep, that’s business, but I don’t think it’s exactly fate and chance that’s who his clients are. Part of his philanthropy work could be ensuring these artists get a fair shake, but it isn’t.

[b]Taylor had the opportunity to own her own music.[/b] She needs to ask her guardians why they signed away those rights in her contracts when she was under 18. [/quote]

With insane strings.  Why does no one understand that?  Did anyone commenting here even read the contract that was offered to her that included the option to buy her masters?

It was a contract for 10 years.  There was also wording within that contract that stated that the right for TS to own the masters was not happening.

Swift proposed that upon the execution of the new contract with BMLG, they'd assign all recordings, artwork, photos, and other materials to TS that BMLG owned or controlled.  TS wanted all rights BMLG had to those items severed and to know if they'd sold the rights to any third party people that would prohibit her ownership.

BMLG's response was: Agreed, provided that the [b]TS Materials would be subject to the terms and conditions of any license or other contract BMLG has entered into to-date with regard to them[/b], including, without limitation, ... master licenses... .

They weren't giving her the masters, which is what she wanted.  Even in this new contract that gave her the audio recordings, artwork, etc., she was not getting the masters because her previous contract with them did not include them.      [/quote]
