This crap goes way back to Allen Klein and the Beatles and Stones.

As an investor, I have no sympathy for showbiz people who want to gyp the people who gambled on their prospects when they were nobodies. Especially showbiz people worth hundreds of millions of dollars. You want to keep all your rights? Bankroll your own expenses from the get-go, instead of begging for investor money.

I’m sure that it goes back even further than the ‘60s.

The concept of discernment beforehand and avoidance is a very good quality to cultivate.

I can make a connection (but won't here) between knowing and deciding something in advance and the present panic and 1984 programming on our TV walls 24/7

Taylor has so many ‘beefs’ with so many people, you need a flo-chart to keep up. There is probably a modern equivalent to Ye Olde Flow Chart. I just don’t know what it is.

She can always return the royalty checks for the record sales of this new
release. She will still get performance and songwriting royalties. That does
not go away if you have not signed them away.
Sounds like she doing a promotion under the guise of a complaint.

I don't really care one way or the other about any of Taylor Swift's "Problems". If she'd had any actual brains she'd have long ago bought those masters.

The biggest I have with any of this is the fact that copyright is essentially eternal now. Every single song in the Beatles catalog should be in the public domain by now. The original copyright was 14 years, with a optional extension of 14 more, for a total of 28 years. Now, it's life of the author plus 50 years. (Might be plus 70). We, the public are being robbed of our heritage because corporate interests have essentially locked up the entirety of the 20th century's works. If big media had their way, folks would be paying royalties to the heirs of William Shakespere for putting on a play of Othello.
