Not caping for Taylor swift. fukk her. Just thinking generally it is kind of messed up that artists have to buy back their own creations but I guess it's not any different from any other corporation where if you create or invent something while employed by them it belongs to them.

For folks up on all the music business shyt how did someone like Prince manage to control his content so well while Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney got their shyt whored out to the highest bidder? What did prince do right ?

Prince had issues with Warner Bros as well. Hence him writing SLAVE on his face and recording under that weird symbol for awhile...

AFTER he got free from Warner he smartened up and was one of the first major artists to recognize the importance and impact that the internet was going to have on the music business.

She should have atleast started her own label by now. Then when shes out of her deal, she could sign under her own label and own the masters to everything moving forward.
Yeah except the label would most likely own her name and likeness. Y’all don’t know that these artist are actually copyrighted products.

Her shyt flopping left and right. Debut @ #2 and now its not even in the top 10:russ:

This. I think she is starting to realize that her best days may be behind her as a top-selling artist. The value of her past music may be worth more than anything else she comes out with in the future.

I get where she’s coming from a little, but I hate how this turned turned into a “poor me, I’m a woman and I got taken advantage of”. All the feminists coming out saying Scooter took advantage of a woman, when this has been going on for decades. I don’t think most women want to waste the feminist card on a battle that Taylor would lose, man or woman. Either stack your paper and buy them back eventually like Jay-z did or sign a new contract and own your own masters from the jump like Iggy did
