She is not that much more talented than most of the other current artists.
This site never fails to disgust me with its vitriol and hatred. And hypocrisy.
Seriously, you mock Taylor Swift’s love life??? She tends to have long, steady boyfriends. She’s pretty stable with Joe for the last 3 years and they are obvious;y talking marriage.
But you’re fine with your wise constitutional attorney Dershowitz raping teen sex slaves repeatedly.
Absolutely disgusting.
There are two royalties paid when a song is played on the internet like through Spodify. The performer gets one and the song writer gets the other. Swift sold her performance royalties. The Beatles sold their song writers copyrights. Each still retains the other. So both are paid their remaining portion of the copyrights. Songwriter copyrights are paid royalties for Radio play, but artists do not get artist royalties for radio play. Artists would get paid for record sales or concerts and internet streaming.
Taylor is always being paid as a songwriter. She is often sharing that royalty with professional songwriters who help her write her songs. She is also getting paid at concerts as a performer as well as the song writer. And of course she is being paid when her likeness is used to sell something like a T-shirt. But she is not being paid for the bigger artist copyright paid on streaming platforms. That goes to the owners of the song “masters”. That is her old production company. Taylor sold that right for cash and in payment to her old production company in hope that they would promote the songs. And they did very well. Their promotion helped make her very famous. And helped her get rich on the songwriting royalties.
Happy Birthday Sweet Taylor!
So, if I get this right, she sold the performance rights up front for an estimated stream of income today.
But, she could re-record the song, re-release it, and get that back.
Sounds like a standard business deal. Did she sign off on it? Or did her staff sign off on it? At her level you do not give up “rights” without your lawyer explaining this to you. It seems should might want to direct her “outrage” elsewhere.
Have you actually seen the video?
Taylor was not a big star when she sold some of her rights in order to get a record deal. When the record deal was very successful she wanted to renegotiate. This is very very common. Record producers lose money on most artists that they sign. When they get a hit, they promote it as much as possible and try to keep the artist selling records. But the artist’s managers or agents try to get the artist to break the deal, because they can make more money if they sign a new deal. There are hundreds of famous cases of this. Bruce Springsteen went two years without recording. The Stones put out a bad record holding back better songs for their next record deal. Then the record company put out greatest hits albums to resell the songs they own. A common trick.
Sorry your feelings are hurt I made a joke about a liberal twit whose claim to fame was writing songs about all the guys who broke up with her.
But you’re fine with your wise constitutional attorney Dershowitz raping teen sex slaves repeatedly.
Show me a post where I said that.....
In fact - show me a post where I mentioned Dumshitz at all.....
You're pretty good at making assumptions - wrong ones.
This site never fails to disgust me with its vitriol and hatred.
The hate keeps me warm.
The ideal outcome would be if the coroner found them with fingers locked around each other's dead windpipes. Thanks Drew68.
Need to be careful we don’t create a power vacuum.
