“That wouldn’t have prevented her from finding a songwriter so she could release new music instead of only recycling the hits of others.”
There’s nothing wrong with using others’ songs especially if you’re going to do a good job with it. You get a song that was inspired by I would advise against hiring someone. What’s the advantage in that. She bought the rights to those songs. Maybe the songwriter isnt a great singer and is happy to have someone do their songs
You’d also need to defend any group or soloist who does this
Led Zeppelin for example
Whatever. You have your opinion, I have mine.
