[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like what she did. She's calling out the industry. If this was on the Jobs & Career board, everyone would applaud her for speaking out. Example, if someone posted: I'm thinking of taking a job with Beta Corp. Has anyone heard anything about them? And a poster replied: I used to work for them. I did 90% of the work on every project for my team and my boss took the credit. He told me he'd recommend me for a promotion to be his equal if I did the same for the next 6 projects. That would have meant years more work with him without credit and dealing with his other bad habits like bullying. Instead, I decided to apply for another job at Acme Agency and now have more freedom to do what I want. Beta Corp was terrible. Avoid! You wouldn't say that the person replying was being immature. I'm not a fan of her music and honestly, I can find her annoying, but I don't see/have an issue with her calling out BGM and Scooter. People are only being sh!tty toward her because she's a) Taylor Swift, someone people love to hate and b) a woman. If a male artist had posted the same thing, people would applaud him for handing his business and on his smart business skills. [/quote] Yeah, “calling out the industry” on Tumblr that made her a multimillionaire at 30? Poor Taylor. All because she doesn’t like the guy who bought her former label. Stupid and childish. And yes, I would say exactly the same thing if she were a man. [/quote] It is more than just "not liking the man who bought the label." Segway Brown now has control over what to do with her life's work. He can decide who gets to license those songs, how they are used, and will earn money off of those songs. Wouldn't you be upset if someone who was terrible to you and wanted to see you fail for years now not only owned what you'd created, but also earned money from it and got to decide what to do with it? If he wanted to be a huge a-hole, he could refuse all licensing inquiries for her songs and remove them from all streaming services. Of course, since Taylor Swift's music catalog makes up 80% of this companies revenue, he'd be crazy to do that. He could do other petty things, though, like allow Kanye West to sample her songs or grant licensing rights to hate groups or groups Swift is against. [/quote]
