BrandNews: Why Is Taylor Swift Re-recording Her Music? #TaylorSwift is a cultural phenomenon. She is a singer and songwriter who released her first single in 2006 when she was 16. She has remained in the spotlight since that time. She is currently on a tour that has been compared to the Super Bowl in terms of economic impact. She is a mega-star. Taylor released her first six albums under the Big Machine record label. Like most standard contracts in the music industry, this contract gave control of the actual recording (the “master” recording) to the record label. Once Taylor became TAYLOR, she wanted control of her master recordings for the first six albums. She attempted to negotiate a new agreement with Big Machine, but they couldn’t reach a deal, with the primary sticking point being ownership of the master recordings. Taylor signed a deal with a different label; one that would give her control of all future master recordings. Big Machine retained control of the older master recordings, and these recordings were eventually acquired by Scooter Braun, one of Taylor’s nemeses. Why does Taylor want the master recordings? What does it mean that Scooter Braun owns these master recordings? What is Taylor’s response and how will it impact her rights going forward? Stay tuned as I’ll address these questions and more. #copyright #music #brandprotection
